The first wearable device and software platform built to harness the full power of artificial intelligence (AI). Ai Pin marks a new beginning for personal consumer technology, offering users the ability to take AI with them everywhere in an entirely new, conversational and screenless form factor. Ai Pin will be available to order in the US from November 16th, starting at $699 for the complete system.
The most interesting thing about this device is the abstraction of the user interface. Most of the interaction with the AI Pin seems to be through natural language i.e. you just speak to it. This is going to be the killer app for generative AI; it will be the way we interact with machines. No more keyboard, screen, or mouse.
