Humane Unveils 'Ai Pin': Ushering New Era for AI-powered Wearables

Humane has officially introduced Ai Pin, a groundbreaking wearable device and software platform designed to fully harness artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

Ai Pin offers users a unique, conversational, and screenless form factor that brings AI seamlessly into various aspects of daily life. The complete Ai Pin system will be available for order in the United States starting November 16th, with prices beginning at $699.

Ai Pin's Many Features

Revolutionizing the way individuals interact with AI, Ai Pin offers diverse modes of engagement. Users can converse naturally, utilize the intuitive touchpad, employ gestures, or leverage the Laser Ink Display projected onto their palm. This screenless interface is intentionally designed to seamlessly integrate into the background while providing a versatile and immersive AI experience.

Ai Pin is crafted to blend into daily routines while enhancing interactions with the surrounding environment. Its capabilities include the Ai Mic, which enables efficient search functions, contextualization, and AI-driven messaging that crafts messages in the user's tone.

The Catch Me Up feature manages email noise, while partnerships with TIDAL* bring new AI-driven music experiences. Ai Pin also acts as a foreign language interpreter and aids nutrition goals by identifying food through computer vision.

Cosmos, Humane's operating system, integrates intelligent technologies with user-friendly interaction and advanced security. The Ai Bus, a novel AI software framework, powers Ai Pin, eliminating the need for app downloads and management. Instead, it understands user needs, instantly connecting them to the right AI experience or service, according to Humane.

Ai Pin's Design

Ai Pin's design offers versatility with three color options - Eclipse, Equinox, and Lunar - and a two-piece structure comprising the main computer and a battery booster.

Magnets connect these components, allowing Ai Pin to power through clothing and be worn in various ways wirelessly. The perpetual power system empowers users to hot-swap the battery booster on-the-go for uninterrupted usage and all-day battery life.

A Snapdragon processor with a dedicated Qualcomm AI Engine powers the Ai Pin. Additionally, it features an ultra-wide RGB camera, depth sensor, and motion sensors.

Emphasizing privacy, the device activates solely upon user engagement and includes a Trust Light indicating active sensors. If compromised, Ai Pin initiates a shutdown and necessitates professional service.

For data management and access, Ai Pin links to Humane.center, acting as a centralized hub for streamlined interaction.

Collaborations with Microsoft and OpenAI grant Ai Pin access to robust AI models and platforms, paving the way for additional capabilities as technology advances. It also provides wireless service through Humane's MVNO, in partnership with its exclusive U.S. ally, T-Mobile.

Ai Pin is available starting at $699, inclusive of the device, two battery boosters, a charging pad, a charging case, a cable, and an adapter. The Humane Subscription, priced at $24 per month, includes a dedicated cell phone number for Ai Pin, unlimited talk, text, and data, cloud storage, and unrestricted access to Humane's growing suite of Ai-powered services.
