TechCrunch roundup of AI wearables: always-listening pendants, rings and handhelds from Amazon Bee, Friend, Limitless, Meta and others
This TechCrunch roundup surveys AI-powered wearables and gadgets on the market or in development. It is product news, not a security incident, and the article describes no vulnerability, breach or threat activity. Many of the devices (Bee, Friend, Limitless, Omi, Plaud NotePin, Nirva) continuously listen to and record the wearer's surroundings and send transcripts to companion apps and cloud AI services. This is a privacy and data-handling consideration for organizations whose staff might wear them in meetings. The article mentions Amazon's July 2025 acquisition of Bee and its new Bee Frontier and Bee Eclipse devices, Meta's unreleased AI wearable for its Muse assistant, and public backlash against Friend's NYC subway ads over "surveillance capitalism".
