Meta is reportedly developing an AI pendant

SMRTR summary

A small pendant you clip to your shirt could soon be recording everything you say, and Meta wants to be the company that makes that happen.

According to an internal memo, Meta is developing an AI-powered wearable pendant, building on its late 2025 acquisition of Limitless, a startup that made exactly that kind of device.

It's an ambitious bet, especially since earlier AI wearables have largely flopped, dogged by privacy concerns and questions about whether they're actually useful.

But Meta is pressing forward. The company also plans to expand its AI glasses lineup and launch a business subscription service called Wearables for Work.

The stakes are high. Meta's Reality Labs division, which drives its hardware efforts, lost four billion dollars in just the first quarter of this year.

Whether a conversational pendant dangling from your collar will turn that around remains, to put it gently, an open question.
