Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into everyday products, offering users an enhanced experience. From AI customer service bots to AI-powered smartwatches, the technology is continually evolving. Humane, a startup founded two ex-Apple employees, backed Microsoft and ChatGPT developer OpenAI, is aiming to disrupt the smartphone market with its latest product.
The Humane AI Pin is a two-part wearable device that includes a small square-shaped device and a battery pack, which can magnetically attach to clothes or other surfaces. Priced at $699 and a monthly subscription of $24, users will also get a Humane subscription, a phone number, and mobile data.
Powered an unspecified Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and the company’s Cosmos operating system, the AI Pin can holographically project information on your hand or other surfaces. The device is equipped with a camera that can recognize objects, provide nutritional information, and more.
Controlled using voice commands and gestures in front of the camera, the AI Pin integrates AI chatbots like ChatGPT. It can place calls, send messages, and even provide real-time translation, with plans for adding more features in the future such as navigation and shopping.
Humane’s AI Pin is set to change the way people use everyday devices and is poised to revolutionize the market. It’s a significant milestone for the company, and it will be interesting to see how this product competes in the smartphone-dominated industry.
