Számos AI-alapú kiegészítő és hordozható eszköz jelent meg a piacon, amelyek a mindennapi feladatok megkönnyítését vagy a felhasználók kísérését célozzák. A kínálatban szerepelnek hangjegyzetelő medálok, mint a $49,99-os Bee vagy a $159-os Plaud NotePin, amelyek megbeszélések és beszélgetések automatikus átírására szolgálnak.
Más eszközök, mint a $129-os Friend medál, kifejezetten érzelmi támogatást nyújtanak és beszélgetőpartnerként működnek. Emellett okosgyűrűk, mint a $299-os Sandbar Stream, valamint önálló kézi kijelzők, például a $199-os Rabbit R1 is helyet kaptak a választékban.
A legtöbb eszköz okostelefonos alkalmazáshoz csatlakozik Bluetooth-on keresztül, és havi előfizetéssel kínál korlátlan AI-funkciókat vagy extra átírási perceket. Az eszközök fejlett hangfelismerést és nyelvi modelleket használnak az azonnali válaszadásra és elemzésre.

A slew of AI-powered gadgets on the market aims to integrate artificial intelligence into our daily lives like never before.
Some of these AI wearables — including necklaces, rings, and wristbands, as well as portable devices — serve as productivity tools, while others claim to act as friendly companions listening to your everyday thoughts. Even OpenAI is working on a compact AI companion device.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the most notable devices.
Bee is an affordable pendant priced at $49.99 that can either be clipped to your clothing or worn like a fitness band. This device records everything it hears and learns your routines and preferences to create reminders and notes for you. It even features a mute button for those times you want some privacy.
The companion app (currently available only on iOS) is included with a $19 monthly subscription. The app allows you to interact with Bee directly and ask it questions. You can also get key takeaways from your day and chronological transcripts of your conversations.
Amazon acquired the wearables startup in July 2025, launching its first new products earlier this month.
Amazon introduced two new devices: the Bee Frontier, priced at $74.99, which can be worn on the wrist or clipped to clothing, and the Bee Eclipse, priced at $99.99, a credit-card-sized device that attaches magnetically to the back of a smartphone.
Both offer the same core functionality as the previous generation, positioning Bee as a more affordable alternative to AI devices such as the Plaud Note and Plaud NotePin. Users can also choose to connect Bee to Alexa.
Friend is one of the most hyped entrants in the “personal AI” device market.
This $129 white pendant hangs around your neck and functions as an emotional support companion. It recognizes your tone and mood, allowing you to chat with it as if it were a friend. It connects to your phone via Bluetooth and constantly listens, ready to respond or send you proactive messages, like wishing you good luck before an interview.
However, it has also faced criticism, including backlash against its subway ad campaign in NYC. People vandalized the ads, writing messages like “surveillance capitalism.”
Likely as an attempt to stay relevant, the company recently unveiled a major product update, introducing a new voice feature. Under the name “Friend 2.0,” the updated device includes a built-in speaker that allows it to communicate with users and express a more distinctive personality.
Formerly known as Rewind, Limitless is another conversation-recording pendant priced at $99.
This device continuously listens, transcribing meetings, calls, and conversations (with consent) into searchable and summarized knowledge. It’s ideal for professionals, especially journalists, looking to recall important discussions.
The companion app comes with 10 hours of AI features per month — such as transcription and summaries — with the option to unlock unlimited features for $29 per month.
Meta introduced its first AI wearable in September, offering a new way for users to access its personal AI assistant, Muse.
The device has not yet shipped, but it is expected to feature Jolly, a playful digital avatar that represents the AI assistant. Housed in a pocket-sized device that can be carried around or attached to a keychain, the wearable includes a miniature display showing the avatar. Users will be able to interact with Muse through voice commands and have it complete tasks for them.
Nirva is a startup founded by former Meta Reality Labs employees, building an AI wearable focused on personal growth rather than productivity or meeting notes.
Worn as a pendant or bracelet, the device listens to the wearer’s speech and uses AI to turn everyday experiences into a personal journal, helping users better understand their
