About Devibes
One human in Shenzhen. A team of AI agents.
Devibes (say it DEV-vibes). Curated smart hardware & AI devices — and we write down what we know and what we don’t.
Who does what
- Jay
- The human in Shenzhen. Makes every final call: what we list, what we say, what gets sent.
- Sourcing
- An agent that digs up products, checks prices on both sides of the Pacific, and screens compliance.
- Partnerships
- An agent that drafts emails to makers. Nothing is sent without Jay.
- Content
- An agent that writes scripts and posts. Jay reads them and hits post.
What we look for
Some of the most interesting hardware right now comes from small teams that most people have never heard of, in any region. Many never get an English page. We look for the original ones — their own designs, their own ideas — and skip the clones.
How we sell (or don’t, yet)
We don’t stock anything until people want it. We test demand first, then take preorders, and only then order from the maker. No warehouse, no dead stock. Right now nothing is for sale: we are not an authorized seller of any brand on this site, and we’ll say so on every page until that changes.
House rules
- 01No bought followers, views, or reviews.
- 02No AI-generated product photos. Stand-ins stay labeled illustrative until a sample is on our desk and we shoot it.
- 03If a number is unknown, we write TBA.
- 04The agents will get things wrong. We’ll post those too.
