Meta is developing an AI-powered pendant and plans to begin testing it next year, according to a memo seen by The Information.
The device will likely build on the work of Limitless, an AI device startup acquired by Meta in late 2025. The startup has developed an AI pendant that allows users to record conversations by attaching it to a shirt or wearing it as a necklace. At the time, Meta said the acquisition would allow it to “accelerate the development of AI-enabled wearables.”
Previous AI wearables have not been well-received by consumers. Perhaps due to privacy concerns, tone-deaf marketing, or simply because it wasn’t very useful. But companies like OpenAI aren’t giving up.
The memo also reportedly says the company plans to expand its line of AI glasses and launch a business subscription called “Wearables for Work.” With all of these planned devices, Meta appears to be hoping to reverse the fortunes of its hardware-focused Reality Labs division, which lost $4 billion in the first quarter of this year.
TechCrunch has reached out to Meta for comment.
