Top AI Wearables and Gadgets Available Now

A new generation of AI-powered gadgets is hitting the market, designed to weave artificial intelligence more seamlessly into our everyday routines.

These AI wearables—encompassing necklaces, rings, wristbands, and portable devices—range from productivity boosters to companions that listen to your daily musings. Even OpenAI is reportedly developing its own compact AI companion device.

Here’s a look at some of the most talked-about devices available right now.

Bee

Priced at an affordable $49.99, the Bee pendant can be clipped to clothing or worn like a fitness band. It continuously records audio, learning your habits and preferences to generate personalized reminders and notes. A physical mute button is included for moments when privacy is needed.

Access requires a $19 monthly subscription, which includes a companion app (currently iOS-only). Through the app, you can interact with Bee directly, ask questions, review daily summaries, and access chronological transcripts of your conversations.

Amazon acquired the wearables startup behind Bee in July.

Friend

Friend has generated significant buzz as a "personal AI" device.

This $129 white pendant, worn around the neck, acts as an emotional support companion. It analyzes your tone and mood, enabling natural conversations. Connected via Bluetooth, it remains in listening mode, ready to respond or send proactive messages—like offering good luck before an important meeting.

The device has also faced controversy, including a recent subway ad campaign in NYC that was vandalized with critiques like "surveillance capitalism."

Limitless

Previously known as Rewind, the Limitless pendant costs $99 and is designed to record conversations.

It continuously listens (with consent), transcribing meetings, calls, and discussions into searchable, summarized notes. It's particularly useful for professionals like journalists who need to recall detailed conversations.

The companion app includes 10 hours of monthly AI features like transcription and summaries. An unlimited plan is available for $29 per month.

Omi

For $89, Omi answers questions, summarizes talks, creates to-do lists, and helps schedule meetings. It processes conversations through ChatGPT in real-time, building context about you to offer personalized advice.

While wearable as a necklace, Omi can also be attached to the side of the head with medical tape, where it can detect when you're addressing it directly.

Plaud’s NotePin

At $159, Plaud's NotePin is a premium option, but its built-in AI transcription and summarization make it valuable for lawyers, journalists, and students in meetings or lectures.

This compact voice recorder can be worn on the wrist or attached magnetically to clothing. Recordings save to your phone instantly, removing the need for manual notes. The base plan includes 300 monthly transcription minutes, upgradable to 1,200 minutes with an $8.33/month Pro subscription.

The company is also preparing to launch the $179 Plaud Note Pro, an ultra-thin note-taking device now available for pre-order.

Rabbit R1

The Rabbit R1 quickly captured tech world attention, despite a rocky initial launch. This $199 handheld features a retro design, touchscreen, and a rotating camera.

Positioned as a phone companion, it handles tasks like flight bookings, food orders, and app control without needing your phone. A major software update resolved early performance issues and added features like "Creations," which lets users build custom tools and games.
