Why This Matters
Meta's expansion into AI wearables represents significant push into new hardware categories
Meta is developing an AI-powered pendant device planned for testing within the next year, according to a memo viewed by The Information. The project builds on Meta's acquisition of AI startup Limitless in late 2025.
Meta is developing an AI-powered pendant that users can attach to their shirt or wear as a necklace to record conversations, building on technology from Limitless, an AI device startup Meta acquired at the end of 2025. The memo indicates Meta plans to start testing the device within the next year. Meta previously stated the acquisition would help 'accelerate our work to build AI-enabled wearables.' The company also reportedly plans to expand its AI glasses lineup and launch a business subscription called Wearables for Work. These initiatives aim to reverse fortunes for Meta's Reality Labs division, which lost $4 billion in the first quarter of this year.
