Meta is reportedly planning to release an AI-powered pendant, which could record and summarize your conversations throughout the day.
The reports, first published by The Information, come after Meta acquired Limitless in December 2025. The startup created a device called the Limitless Pendant, a clip-on blue microphone, which for a starting price of $199 gave users roughly 20 hours of free recording, transcription and summarization every month.
The pendants, which no longer function in the UK, EU, Israel, South Korea, Turkey, and Brazil, worked via an accompanying app available on iOS, Android, and web. Using Limitless's product, consumers could attend an in-person meeting then later access AI-transcribed meeting notes via its Rewind app. The pendants have since ceased production following Meta's acquisition, though the company promised to support existing users for a year following the acquisition.
The Information said that Meta is planning to test the device in 2027, but there was no indication of when it could eventually land with consumers.
The internal memo from Alex Himel, Meta’s vice president of wearables, also reportedly said that Meta is planning to expand its current lineup of smart glasses and to launch a subscription service aimed at businesses called Wearables for Work.
The news of the ambitious plans to expand its selection of AI wearables comes amid severe losses at its hardware unit, despite sales of products like the Meta Ray Bans performing well. Reality Labs lost $4.03 billion in the first quarter of 2026, with revenue of just $402 million. Meta aims to sell 10 million wearable devices in the second half of 2026, as per The Information.
Other always-recording AI wearables have been met with backlash in the real world. Friend, an AI-powered necklace that would listen to your surroundings and provide companionship for its users, had posters advertising its launch defaced in New York. Meanwhile, the potential privacy issues surrounding wearable products like the Meta Ray Bans are attracting more mainstream attention. David Harris, a former Meta AI researcher and lecturer at UC Berkeley, told BBC News earlier this month that technology "like this is fundamentally an invasion of privacy and it's really going to face more and more backlash."
