Humane's Ai Pin is a square device that magnetically attaches to clothing, etc. It does not have a display, but instead uses a laser projector to project images onto your hand, and it also supports voice control.

You can see what kind of device it is from the demonstration video below by Chaudhri.

This device visible on Mr. Chaudhri's chest is Ai Pin.



Two minutes after the video started playing, Mr. Chaudhri's Ai Pin, who was on stage, received a call.



When Mr. Chaudhri held his hand over his chest, a laser projector projected on his palm an incoming call from his wife Bethany.



According to The Verge, who has 'obtained a document detailing virtually everything about Ai Pin,' Ai Pin costs $699 (approximately 100,000 yen), with a monthly fee of $24 (approximately 3,600 yen). It operates on its own network service (using T-Mobile's line) and has the ability to access AI models from Microsoft and OpenAI.

The clip that attaches Ai Pin to your clothes is not just a magnet, but also doubles as a battery pack, and you can replace it with a new battery to keep Ai Pin running all day. Battery life is unknown, but one Ai Pin comes with two 'battery boosters'.

Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor inside, it uses cameras, depth sensors, and motion sensors to track and record your surroundings. It also has a speaker, which Humane calls a 'personic speaker,' and can also be connected to Bluetooth headphones.

Because it doesn't have a display, Ai Pin operates primarily as a voice-based device, but it also has the ability to project information onto your hand with a laser projector and gesture input through a camera. However, since Ai Pin does not start with wake words such as 'Hey Siri' or 'OK Google', it is necessary to start it manually by some method.

In addition, Ai Pin is equipped with a touchpad for operation and a 'trust light' that blinks when Ai Pin is recording something.



The OS is called Cosmos, and it is designed not as a collection of apps but as a seamless system that can call up AI and tools as needed. Other features include composing messages, summarizing emails, translating languages, recognizing foods and providing nutritional information, and using Tidal 's music streaming to let an AI DJ select songs based on the situation. There are many features that will help you. It is also said that there will be an 'AI-based photo function,' but the details are unknown.

Unlike a typical smartwatch, Ai Pin is designed as a self-contained and simple wearable device, but it also has a tool called Humane.center for setup and customization. It is unclear whether 'Humane.center' is a website or a smartphone app, but it is assumed that this tool will manage notes, videos, and photos collected by Ai Pin.

The Verge asked Humane for comment, but as of the time of writing, no response had been received.
