A new wave of AI-powered wearables is enhancing how we integrate artificial intelligence into daily life, offering devices that range from productivity tools to emotional companions. One standout is Bee, an affordable $49.99 pendant acquired by Amazon in July 2025, which records conversations and learns user habits to create reminders, with latest models priced between $74.99 and $99.99. It connects seamlessly to Alexa and offers a subscription-based companion app for interactive use. Other devices, like Friend—a $129 pendant with emotional support features—have received attention both for their innovation and controversies, including a high-profile ad campaign in New York.

Limitless, formerly Rewind, targets professionals by providing a $99 AI pendant that transcribes and summarizes conversations, ideal for meetings and interviews with a subscription option offering unlimited AI features. Meta's entry, the Muse Charm, features a playful AI avatar called Jolly and is designed for personal assistant tasks via voice interaction, though it remains unreleased. Nirva, a newer startup by ex-Meta Reality Labs staff, focuses on personal growth with a $249 pendant that uses AI to help users understand and improve emotional and communication patterns, with shipments planned by the end of 2026.

Other notable AI wearables include Omi, an $89 necklace that utilizes ChatGPT for conversation analysis and productivity aids, and Plaud’s NotePin, priced at $159, offering real-time transcription and summarization for professionals such as lawyers and journalists. Rabbit R1, a $199 retro-style AI device, combines touchscreen and camera features to help users perform everyday tasks without their phone. Meanwhile, Sandbar has unveiled the Stream ring, expected this summer at $299, which uses a touch-sensitive panel for note-taking, media control, and interaction with a companion AI assistant.

These AI wearables reflect a growing market where devices serve varied roles—some as personal companions, others as productivity enhancers or note-taking tools. Amazon, Meta, and startups like Nirva and Plaud illustrate how the tech industry is betting on compact, AI-driven gadgets as an extension of smartphones and computers, aiming to embed AI more naturally into users’ lives. With prices ranging from under $50 to almost $300, consumers have multiple options based on their needs, whether for daily reminders, emotional support, or professional use.
