Humane Inc has introduced Ai Pin, a groundbreaking wearable device and software platform designed to fully leverage the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). Representing a significant milestone in personal consumer technology, Ai Pin enables users to carry AI in a novel, conversational, and screenless format. The device will be open for orders in the United States from November 16th, with prices starting at $699 for the complete system.
Ai Pin transforms the landscape of AI interaction, providing users with a range of natural engagement options, including speech, the intuitive touchpad, gestures, and interaction with the cutting-edge Laser Ink Display projected onto their palm. Its screenless user interface seamlessly integrates into the background, introducing a new dimension to AI that is multi-modal and easily accessible.
Seamlessly fitting into daily routines, Ai Pin enriches interactions with the environment. Enhanced by the Ai Mic, the device streamlines searches, rapidly contextualizes information, and crafts messages in the user’s unique tone. Teaming up with TIDAL*, Ai Pin introduces novel AI-driven music experiences and acts as a foreign language interpreter, aiding in nutrition goals through computer vision.
Humane’s operating system, Cosmos, merges intelligent technologies with intuitive interaction and advanced security. The Ai Bus, an innovative AI software framework, eradicates the need for app downloads, management, or launches, instantly connecting users to the right AI experiences or services.
Available in Eclipse, Equinox, and Lunar color options, Ai Pin features a distinctive two-piece design comprising a main computer and a battery booster. Magnetically connected, the device powers wirelessly through clothing, providing versatility in wear. With its perpetual power system, users can hot swap the battery booster on-the-go, ensuring uninterrupted usage and all-day battery life.
Despite its compact size, Ai Pin incorporates cutting-edge technology, powered by a Snapdragon®™ processor with a dedicated Qualcomm® AI Engine. Equipped with an ultra-wide RGB camera, depth sensor, and motion sensors, the device perceives the world as the user does. Privacy is paramount, with the device activating only upon user engagement and featuring a Trust Light to indicate sensor activity.
For streamlined interaction and data access, Ai Pin connects to Humane.center, serving as a central hub. Users undergo onboarding via a privacy-protected portal upon purchasing Ai Pin, tailoring services to individual preferences.
Collaborations with Microsoft and OpenAI grant Ai Pin access to potent AI models and platforms. Operating as a standalone device, Ai Pin eliminates the need for pairing with a smartphone. Humane introduces its MVNO, connected by its U.S. partner, T-Mobile, to provide wireless service for Ai Pin.
