Well, as the name suggests, this is a smart alarm clock and apart from waking you up in the morning or offering reminders, it can perform some other pretty tasks as well.
So let me introduce you to this Xiaomi XiaoAi Smart Alarm Clock, with its look and feel and how well it can be a part of your daily regime:

The top of the alarm clock has a button which is used to switch off the alarm and can also be used to trigger the virtual assistant.
The smart alarm clock is powered by a MediaTek processor which is clocked at 1.3Ghz and is quad-core in nature. No doubt, this is the thing that powers the speed of virtual assistant and also takes care of the display.

The AI feature in the speaker is equipped to listen to your voice and using your voice, you can set as many as 30 different alarms. Besides, you can also set 80 distinct reminders and also get alerts for weather, stock update and news headlines etc.
Setting up the Smart Alarm Clock:
The Xiaomi XiaoAi Smart Alarm Clock can be set using the companion smartphone application. Though this is just meant for China presently but as soon as the smart alarm clock hits the markets in the world, it would surely be available in all the world languages.

However, the only disadvantage that would freak you out is the lack of own power in the alarm clock. Due to this, you need to keep it plugged in 24x7 and this functions only when plugged in.
However, I am sure the makers would get over this con pretty soon in the upcoming versions and as per the Chinese cost, this smart clock may take a small sum of just $22 from you. Looks quite cool at this cost.
