The move could mark another step in the company\u2019s broader strategy to build AI-enabled wearable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An AI pendant for recording and supporting daily conversations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new device is expected to build on technology developed by Limitless, an AI device startup that Meta acquired at the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limitless had developed an AI-powered pendant that users could attach to their clothing or wear around their neck to record conversations. These recordings could then be processed and organised using artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time of the acquisition, Meta said the deal would help accelerate its work on AI-enabled wearables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Privacy concerns remain a key challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although interest in AI wearables has grown, earlier devices in this category have struggled to gain strong consumer adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This may be due to privacy concerns linked to recording conversations, weak practical value for everyday users, or marketing approaches that failed to clearly explain why consumers would need such devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite these challenges, major technology companies are still exploring AI-powered hardware, including OpenAI, which continues to show interest in new forms of AI devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meta plans to expand its AI glasses lineup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the AI pendant, the memo reportedly says Meta is planning to expand its range of AI-powered glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is also preparing to launch a business subscription service called Wearables for Work, suggesting that Meta may be targeting both consumer and enterprise use cases with its wearable AI devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A push to support Reality Labs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta\u2019s new wearable plans come as its hardware-focused Reality Labs division continues to face financial pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reality Labs lost $4 billion in the first quarter of this year, and Meta appears to be betting on new AI-enabled devices, including AI glasses and the reported pendant, to improve the division\u2019s long-term prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Meta\u2019s AI pendant matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta\u2019s reported AI pendant reflects a wider shift in the technology industry: moving artificial intelligence beyond apps and screens into personal devices that users can wear throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the success of the device will likely depend on whether Meta can offer clear everyday value while addressing privacy concerns around recording, data collection, and user consent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta is reportedly developing a new AI-powered wearable device in the form of a pendant, as the company looks to expand its presence in the market for personal AI devices.
