Numerous details, including the pricing, of the Humane AI Pin have been prematurely disclosed prior to yesterday’s official announcement. According to documents reviewed by The Verge, the cost of the Humane AI Pin is $699. Along with the spherical design, the package includes a charger and two “battery boosters” that not only supply power but also function as magnetic attachments for your garments.
However, the most noteworthy aspect is the monthly fee of $24 for the “Humane Subscription.” This subscription utilizes a Humane MVNO that integrates with T-Mobile’s network to offer mobile data and phone services. Moreover, Microsoft and OpenAI provide cloud storage for photos and videos, along with the intriguing feature of generating unlimited AI-based queries.
The Humane AI Pin boasts features such as a camera, level and motion sensors, “personic speech,” and a natural light display. It runs on an undisclosed Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, featuring a touchscreen interface and the capability to connect Bluetooth headphones, in addition to supporting voice commands. Notably, unlike traditional devices, the Pin operates without a wake word, necessitating a physical touch or activation to engage. A “Trust Light” indicator, located at the top of the device, illuminates when recording is in progress.
Operating on the “Cosmos” OS, the Humane AI Pin may potentially be revealed to run on Android in the near future. It promises functionalities like crafting messages in your style and summarizing your inbox, as previously demonstrated. Additionally, features such as Tidal integration and specialized photo capabilities are anticipated, as reported by The Verge. Furthermore, an online hub named “Compassionate Center” is expected to be launched for browsing AI Pin content, including images, videos, and notes, across various platforms.
