Meta is developing an AI-powered pendant that can record conversations and generate summaries. The device is based on technology from Limitless, a startup Meta acquired. This move signals Meta's push into wearable AI beyond smart glasses.
Pendant clips onto clothing as AI assistant
The pendant is part of a broader hardware plan that includes several new smart glasses models scheduled for launch by the end of 2026. Meta is also exploring a subscription service called Wearables for Work for business users.
The pendant clips onto clothing or hangs around the neck, acting as a personal AI assistant throughout the day. It builds on Limitless's existing pendant technology, which captures audio and produces summaries.
Wearables for Work subscription targets professionals
Meta's Wearables for Work subscription could offer features like meeting transcription, note-taking assistance, and integration with workplace platforms. This positions the pendant as a productivity tool for professionals.
Meta's wearable portfolio already includes Ray-Ban smart glasses and virtual reality headsets. The company is expanding into new form factors to compete in the growing AI wearables market.
The Information and TechCrunch reported these plans based on an internal Meta memo. The details are unconfirmed, so readers should treat them as rumors.
Meta's AI pendant aims to offer continuous audio recording and summarization. The company plans to test the device within the next year, with a potential launch following the smart glasses rollout.
