A look at how artificial intelligence is changing the role of wearables, shifting them from trackers and dashboards into quieter, more supportive devices that live alongside everyday life.

A look at how AI-powered wearables can reduce cognitive load for people with ADHD by supporting memory, context, and recall without adding more tools, steps, or distractions.

A look at the earliest wearable devices, from 17th-century abacus rings to early electronic and wearable computers, and how the idea of wearables has evolved over time.

A clear look at the difference between AI rings and AI pendants, explaining why rings focus on health tracking while pendants are designed for transcription, memory, and recall.

A look back at Humane, its ambition to rethink screenless computing, and why its journey and eventual acquisition remain an interesting moment in the evolution of AI and wearables.

A comparison of the Rabbit R1 and the Humane AI Pin, two ambitious AI wearable devices with very different interaction models and design philosophies, and what each reveals about the future of computing.

A look at how different AI device form factors shape the way transcription and memory fit into daily life, and why necklace-style devices tend to work best when continuity and low effort matter most.

A look at the AI devices that listen, transcribe, and help people remember everyday conversations, including Legend, Bee, Limitless, and other voice-first tools.

Limitless and Bee were two early voice-first memory devices with very different approaches to features and pricing. This comparison looks at how they worked, who they were for, and what their paths reveal about the future of AI wearables.
