## The Walls Have Ears

Smart Speakers are sold at cost or at a loss because they are not speakers; they are high-fidelity acoustic sensors placed strategically in the most private room of your life: the kitchen and bedroom.

### FAQ

**Q: Is my smart speaker listening to my private conversations?**
A: Not the the way you think, but yes in the way that matters. They aren't recording everything and sending MP3s to a server. They are using on-device processing to listen for 'High-Intent Keywords'. If the microphone hears you and your spouse talking about 'booking a flight to Hawaii' or 'the car making a clicking sound,' that specific intent metadata is tagged to your advertising profile. This is why you see an ad for Hawaii on Instagram 20 minutes later even if you never typed the words once. This tool models the multi-billion dollar yield of this 'Implicit Intent' harvesting. Each $49 speaker generates roughly $20 in high-margin ad revenue every year, forever.
