The hottest AI wearables and gadgets you should know about

A slew of AI-powered gadgets on the market aims to integrate artificial intelligence into our daily lives like never before.

Some of these AI wearables — including necklaces, rings, and wristbands, as well as portable devices — serve as productivity tools, while others claim to act as friendly companions listening to your everyday thoughts. Even OpenAI is working on a compact AI companion device.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of the most notable devices.

Bee

Bee is an affordable pendant priced at $49.99 that can either be clipped to your clothing or worn like a fitness band. This device records everything it hears and learns your routines and preferences to create reminders and notes for you. It even features a mute button for those times you want some privacy. 

The companion app (currently available only on iOS) is included with a $19 monthly subscription. The app allows you to interact with Bee directly and ask it questions. You can also get key takeaways from your day and chronological transcripts of your conversations. 

Amazon acquired the wearables startup in July 2025, launching its first new products earlier this month.

Amazon introduced two new devices: the Bee Frontier, priced at $74.99, which can be worn on the wrist or clipped to clothing, and the Bee Eclipse, priced at $99.99, a credit-card-sized device that attaches magnetically to the back of a smartphone.

Both offer the same core functionality as the previous generation, positioning Bee as a more affordable alternative to AI devices such as the Plaud Note and Plaud NotePin. Users can also choose to connect Bee to Alexa.

Friend

Friend is one of the most hyped entrants in the “personal AI” device market.

However, it has also faced criticism, including backlash against its subway ad campaign in NYC. People vandalized the ads, writing messages like “surveillance capitalism.”

Limitless

Formerly known as Rewind, Limitless is another conversation-recording pendant priced at $99.
