Humane, founded by ex-Apple design and engineering team Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, announced the Humane Ai Pin today as its first product.

It has taken a long time. Humane has kept its work under wraps since its inception in 2018, unveiling no products but hiring dozens of ex-Apple employees responsible for the iPhone’s touchscreen keyboard, elements of Apple’s industrial design, and infrastructure for Apple services such as iCloud, Apple Pay, and Home.

As it turns out, Humane’s product is a wearable device with a projected display and AI-powered functionality. Chaudhri demonstrated the technology live onstage at a TED Talk in April, but today’s press release reveals a few more specifics.

“The [AI Pin is a] connected and intelligent clothing-based wearable device that uses a range of sensors to enable contextual and ambient compute interactions,” according to the press release. “The Ai Pin is a type of standalone device with a software platform that harnesses the power of Ai to enable innovative personal computing experiences.”

Taking away the marketing jargon, the Ai Pin can accomplish many of the functions a smartphone can do, but with fewer gestures and voice instructions required. The Ai Pin, designed to clip to a breast pocket, can deliver a summary of emails and calendar invites, translate between languages, and answer and place phone calls when activated with a tap.

Thanks to a camera and computer vision software, the Ai Pin can distinguish objects around it, such as food nutrition labels. Thanks to a built-in projector and depth sensor, it can also project an interactive interface onto adjacent objects, such as the palm of a hand or the top of a table.

“Our Ai Pin allows people to take AI with them wherever they go, ushering in a new era of personal mobile computing that is seamless, screenless, and sensing,” Chaudhri and Bongiorno said in a scripted statement.

Humane also stated today that it is working with Qualcomm to create the inside hardware of the Ai Pin. The wearable will be powered by an unidentified chip from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series, with Human promising additional information later this year before the device’s release.

“Humane’s Ai Pin will deliver a superior AI experience,” Qualcomm SVP of product management Ziad Asghar said in a statement. “With the advent of generative AI, Humane’s Ai Pin and user experience takes excellent advantage of some of the key strengths of on-device AI and uses real-time contextual information to provide the user with exciting, personalized AI use cases.”

Humane announced a collaboration with SK Networks and Microsoft to bring its platform and services to market, with Microsoft providing cloud computing capacity and SK Networks handling distribution. Meanwhile, Humane is working with OpenAI to embed its technology into the startup’s device, whichever shape it takes. LG, for its part, is collaborating with Humane on research and development initiatives for the next stage of its product life cycle and adopting Humane’s technology for smart home devices. Volvo is also collaborating with Humane on a future automotive sector product.

Humane, based in San Francisco, has raised $230 million in funding to date from investors, including Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, Kindred Ventures, SK Networks, LG Technology Ventures, Microsoft, Volvo Cars Tech Fund, Tiger Global, Qualcomm Ventures, OpenAI CEO and co-founder Sam Altman.
