An AI biofeedback vibrator that can deliver targeted sensations through haptics and soundwaves, marketed as the ‘world’s first personalised smart vibrator’ is being developed ahead of a planned 2026 launch.
The GetRude vibrator (depicted below) is fitted with sensors that track arousal within the vagina, allowing the device to ‘learn’ which of the device’s motions are hitting the spot. The vibrator can then recreate those motions to targeted areas, using both haptic stimulation and soundwave technology.
GetRude’s UK-based co-founder Nancy Scotford told SEXTECHGUIDE that core research and development for the device was complete, and that 50 sample units are being built for large-scale data collection. The company is aiming to launch the GetRude by Christmas 2026.
Early depictions of the vibrator show it to have three control buttons, but connection to an app with Spotify-like functionality is believed to be in development, to control the GetRude’s movements and settings.
“We measure arousal in real time via multiple discreet sensors, allowing the device to continuously learn and adjust. Just as an attentive partner would read visual and physical cues, the system reads physiological ones, refining its responses second by second,” Scotford says.
While the GetRude vibrator is billed as a “world first”, it seems to have some crossover with the popular Lioness vibrator, which records orgasm data by measuring arousal in the vagina through pelvic contractions. For the Lioness this is primarily a measuring tool, helping users track orgasms and what causes arousal, rather than being used to directly influence the vibrator’s movements or vibrations.
The GetRude appears to be more of a two-way street, when it comes to the device acting on orgasm and arousal data.
“We use a blend of precision haptics and soundwave patterns to recreate the nuanced motions that actually stimulate arousal: think orbiting, hinting, or pulsing across micro-erogenous zones, rather than a one-note buzz. Our proprietary control method allows these haptics to adapt in real time based on user feedback and arousal signals,” Scotford says.
It’s still early days for GetRude, which has development and prototype hurdles to promptly clear if it’s to get the device out by the end of 2026, but we’ll report on the vibrator as it gets closer to launch.
