<p id="speakable-summary" class="wp-block-paragraph">Meta is developing an AI-powered pendant that it plans to start testing in the next year, according to a memo <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/meta-memo-outlines-ambitious-hardware-plans-including-new-ai-pendant" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">viewed by The Information</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This device would presumably build on the work of Limitless, an <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/05/meta-acquires-ai-device-startup-limitless/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI device startup that Meta acquired</a> at the end of 2025. The startup made an AI pendant that users could attach to their shirt or wear as a necklace to record their conversations. At the time, Meta said the acquisition would allow it to “accelerate our work to build AI-enabled wearables.”</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier AI wearables have failed to catch on with consumers — perhaps due to <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/27/ai-startup-friend-spent-more-than-1m-on-all-those-subway-ads/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">privacy concerns and tone-deaf marketing</a>, or perhaps because they <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/humanes-ai-pin-is-dead-as-hp-buys-startups-assets-for-116m/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">just weren’t that useful</a>. But companies like OpenAI <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/05/openai-and-jony-ive-may-be-struggling-to-figure-out-their-ai-device/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">aren’t giving up</a>.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The memo also reportedly states that the company is planning to expand its lineup of AI glasses and launch a business subscription called Wearables for Work. With all these planned devices, Meta is apparently hoping to reverse the fortunes of its hardware-focused Reality Labs division, which <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/29/meta-is-still-burning-money-on-ar-vr/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lost $4 billion</a> in the first quarter of this year.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">TechCrunch has reached out to Meta for comment.</p>
