Meta (META) has acquired AI startup Limitless, advancing Meta’s (META) efforts to develop AI-enabled wearables and bring “personal superintelligence to everyone.”
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Limitless developed a voice recorder pendant to be used to record interviews, conversations, lectures, and training sessions, which can then turn those conversations into AI-generated summaries.
“Meta (META) recently announced a new vision to bring personal superintelligence to everyone and a key part of that vision is building incredible AI-enabled wearables,” Limitless co-founder and CEO Dan Siroker said on the company’s webpage.
As part of its acquisition, Limitless will continue to support existing Pendant customers for at least another year but will no longer sell the Pendant to new customers. Existing customers will get the Pendant Unlimited Plan for free.
Other than the Limitless Pendant, other wearable AI devices include the Bee Pioneer Edition, Plaud NotePin, and Omi, some of which are sold without a monthly subscription fee.
Building on the success of its Ray-Ban smartglasses, Meta’s (META) Limitless acquisition seems aimed to achieve the same level of ubiquity with AI wearables as smartphones and health monitoring rings.
