Get ready for the highly anticipated launch of Humane’s groundbreaking innovation, the AI Pin. Although the company has been giving subtle hints about its debut for a while now, The Verge has managed to get their hands on detailed documents revealing everything you need to know about the device before it even hits the shelves.
In essence, Humane is on the brink of unveiling a $699 wearable smartphone that operates without a screen. This unique device comes with a $24-a-month subscription and is powered by a Humane-branded version of T-Mobile’s network, providing access to cutting-edge AI models from Microsoft and OpenAI.
The Pin itself is a square-shaped device that can easily be attached to your clothing or other surfaces using its magnetic clip, which also doubles as a battery pack. This means you can switch out batteries throughout the day to keep your Pin up and running. Equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, camera, depth, and motion sensors, the Pin also includes a “personic speaker”, Bluetooth headphone connectivity, and a green laser projector to display information.
While primarily voice-activated, you can interact with the Pin through gestures and by holding objects up to the camera. And while it isn’t always recording or listening, a unique “Trust Light” indicates when it is. Moreover, the Humane Subscription offers a phone number, cell data through T-Mobile, cloud storage, and unlimited queries of AI models.
Humane’s operating system, Cosmos, allows for seamless integration of various AI capabilities and tools. With reports that the Pin may be powered by GPT-4, it’s suggested that the device can create messages in your own voice, summarize emails, translate languages, and identify food for nutritional information, among other features.
Additionally, Humane.center provides a hub for managing the device while storing and accessing collected notes, videos, and photos. Stay tuned as Humane makes the official announcement tomorrow, offering more insight into the functionality and potential of a screen-free smartphone.
