Introducing Ai Pin: Humane Inc’s Revolutionary Screenless AI Wearable
04 July, 2024
In a groundbreaking move, Humane Inc has unveiled Ai Pin, a revolutionary wearable AI device that redefines the way we engage with artificial intelligence (AI). This marks a significant shift in personal consumer technology, offering users the convenience of carrying AI with them in an entirely new, conversational, and screenless form. The Ai Pin is set to hit the US market from November 16th, with the complete system priced at $699.
Ai Pin is designed to revolutionize our interaction with AI. Users can converse with it naturally, use the intuitive touchpad, present objects, employ gestures, or interact via the pioneering Laser Ink Display projected onto the palm. This unique, screenless user interface is crafted to seamlessly blend into the background while delivering the power of AI in multi-modal and fluid ways.
The Ai Pin is designed to effortlessly integrate into your daily routine and enhance your interactions with the world. Capable of handling both simple and complex tasks, its Ai Mic supercharges search and quickly finds and contextualizes your queries. The AI-powered messaging system can craft messages in your tone of voice, while the Catch Me Up feature filters through your inbox clutter. In partnership with TIDAL*, new AI-driven music experiences come alive, and the AI-powered photographer helps you capture and recall important memories. Additionally, Ai Pin can also serve as your foreign language interpreter and support your dietary goals by identifying food using computer vision. The device’s capabilities will continue to grow with future updates.
Humane introduces Cosmos, an innovative operating system designed for the AI era that brings together intelligent technologies with intuitive interaction and advanced security. The Ai Bus, a completely new AI software framework, brings Ai Pin to life and eliminates the need to download, manage, or launch apps. Instead, it quickly comprehends your needs and connects you to the right AI experience or service instantly.
Ai Pin is available in three color options – Eclipse, Equinox, and Lunar – and features a unique two-piece design, consisting of the main computer and a battery booster. These components connect magnetically and power wirelessly through clothing and apparel, allowing you to wear Ai Pin in various ways. Its perpetual power system enables users to hot swap the battery booster on-the-go, ensuring uninterrupted usage and all-day battery life.
Despite its compact size, Ai Pin is packed with cutting-edge technology. It runs on a Snapdragon®™ processor with a dedicated Qualcomm® AI Engine, ensuring fast and reliable performance for AI interactions. Ai Pin is equipped with an ultra-wide RGB camera, depth sensor, and motion sensors, allowing the device to perceive the world as you do. A unique, personic speaker creates a bubble of sound, offering both intimacy and volume as needed, while Ai Pin can also pair with headphones via Bluetooth.
Privacy is a core feature of Ai Pin. The device only activates upon user engagement and does not employ ‘wake words’, ensuring it is not always listening or recording. A prominent Trust Light indicates when any sensors are active, managed via a dedicated privacy chip. If compromised, Ai Pin will shut down and require professional service from Humane.
To manage and access your data, including photos, videos, and notes, Ai Pin connects to Humane.center. This platform serves as a central hub for your device, ensuring a streamlined interaction from setup to daily use.
Humane has collaborated with Microsoft and OpenAI to give Ai Pin access to some of the world’s most powerful AI models and platforms. This sets the foundation for new capabilities to be added as the technology evolves. Ai Pin is a standalone device that does not need to be paired with a smartphone or other companion device. Humane is also launching its own MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) connected by its exclusive U.S. partner, T-Mobile.
Ai Pin is available starting at $699 for the complete system. This includes the device, two battery boosters, a charge pad, a charge case, a cable and an adapter. For $24 per month, the Humane Subscription includes a dedicated cell phone number for your Ai Pin and unlimited talk, text, and data. This subscription also comes with cloud storage and full access to Humane’s growing suite of Ai-powered services with no limits on the number of queries you can pose.
The launch of Ai Pin marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in AI-powered, personal technology. Humane is committed to building a future where AI seamlessly integrates into every aspect of our lives and enhances our daily experiences. The Ai Pin is a testament to this vision and is just the beginning of what’s to come in the world of artificial intelligence.
