The Information reports that Meta's AI pendant, currently under development, will be based on technology from Limitless, an AI device startup that the company acquired at the end of 2025. Limitless was a company that developed AI-powered pendant-type gadgets. You can read more about Limitless's AI pendant in the following article.

Limitless stated that acquiring Meta would 'accelerate the development of AI-powered wearables,' but Meta has yet to release an AI pendant. However, Meta does sell the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, which are highly popular in the smart glasses market.

While several AI-powered wearable devices have appeared on the market in the past, they have failed to gain widespread adoption due to privacy concerns, misguided marketing, and simply a lack of convenience.

However, AI company OpenAI is working on developing AI wearable devices and is aiming to enter this field. If this report is correct, it means that Meta is also working on developing AI devices, following in OpenAI's footsteps.
