Humane, Inc., co-founded by former Apple designers Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, has officially launched its highly anticipated AI Pin, a wearable device that aims to redefine how we interact with artificial intelligence. This sleek and compact gadget, which has been dubbed a “smartphone replacement,” offers a seamless and intuitive way to access AI-powered services without the need for a screen.
“The AI Pin is a culmination of years of hard work and dedication from our entire team,” said Chaudhri. “We are incredibly excited to finally share it with the world and see how it changes the way people live and work.”
A Sleek and Minimalist Design
The AI Pin is designed to be both stylish and functional. It is a square-shaped device measuring 40mm x 40mm x 10mm and weighs just 34 grams. Its lightweight and durable construction makes it comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.
The device attaches magnetically to clothing or other surfaces, allowing for easy hands-free use. This makes it ideal for busy individuals who are always on the go.
Powerful AI Capabilities
The AI Pin is powered by a Snapdragon processor and runs on a custom software platform. It features a built-in camera, microphone, and speaker, as well as a laser ink display that projects information onto the user’s hand.
The AI Pin’s primary interface is voice control, complemented by gestures, the laser ink display, and the camera. Users can interact with the device using natural language commands, making it easy to access information and control various functions.
The AI Pin can translate languages, transcribe audio, and provide real-time assistance with tasks like navigation and scheduling. It can also access a suite of AI-powered services, such as personalized news updates and curated recommendations.
A Collaborative Effort
Humane has partnered with several industry leaders to bring the AI Pin to life. Microsoft provides its cloud computing infrastructure, while OpenAI contributes its natural language processing expertise. T-Mobile ensures connectivity with its reliable network, and TIDAL offers a personalized music experience.
“We are grateful for the support of our partners in helping us to develop and launch the AI Pin,” said Bongiorno. “Their expertise has been invaluable in bringing this innovative product to market.”
Pricing and Availability
The AI Pin is available for purchase starting at $699. This includes the device, battery boosters, a charge pad, a charge case, a cable, and an adapter.
A $24 monthly subscription provides a dedicated cell phone number for the AI Pin, unlimited talk, text, and data, cloud storage, and access to Humane’s growing suite of AI-powered services.
The AI Pin can be purchased online or at select retailers.
The Future of Personal Technology
The AI Pin is poised to become an indispensable tool for those seeking a more seamless and intuitive way to experience the power of AI. With its innovative design, coupled with its powerful AI capabilities, the AI Pin has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us.
“We believe that the AI Pin is the future of personal technology,” said Chaudhri. “It is a device that is designed to fit into our lives, not the other way around.”
The AI Pin is more than just a device; it is a platform for innovation. Humane is committed to working with developers to create new and exciting AI-powered experiences for the AI Pin.
