Experience company Humane AI opens US orders from tomorrow, November 16th, for its first wearable device and software platform built to harness the full power of artificial intelligence. The company’s Ai Pin is designed as a personal consumer technology that provides users with the ability to take AI with them everywhere.
Humane’s Ai Pin aims to transform AI interactions, allowing users to engage in natural conversation, utilise the intuitive touchpad, hold up objects, use gestures, or even interact with a Laser Ink Display that’s projected onto a user’s palm. This screenless interface also integrates into the background, delivering the potency of AI in multi-modal ways.
Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, co-founders of Humane commented in a blog post, “AI Pin is the embodiment of our vision to integrate AI into the fabric of daily life, enhancing our capabilities without overshadowing our humanity. We are proud to finally unveil what we and the team at Humane have been working on for the past four years. For us, AI Pin is just the beginning.”
User-friendly interaction
The company’s Cosmos operating system for the AI era incorporates technology with user-friendly interaction and enhanced security. The AI Bus, a novel AI software framework, activates AI Pin without requiring app downloads, management, or launches. Its efficiency lies in comprehending a user’s needs and promptly connecting them to the appropriate AI experience or service.
Ai Pin offers three colour choices – Eclipse, Equinox, and Lunar – featuring a two-part design comprising the main computer and a battery booster. These components connect magnetically and wirelessly to power through clothing, allowing versatile wearing options. The power system also allows users to swap the battery booster while on the move, ensuring continuous use and a full day of battery life.
“We believe in a future where artificial intelligence amplifies human potential, and Humane shares this vision. We’re proud to be partnering with them to harness AI and redefine how we interact with technology — and the world,” said Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI.
AI Pin will be available to order in the US from November 16th, starting at $699 for the complete system. This includes the device, two battery boosters, a charge pad, a charge case, a cable and an adapter. For $24 per month, the Humane Subscription includes a dedicated cell phone number for a user’s Ai Pin and unlimited talk, text, and data.
