Meta is reportedly testing an AI pendant and work-focused wearables

Meta's rumored pendant shows that AI hardware remains alive despite the failures of earlier always-listening devices. TechCrunch, citing The Information, reports that Meta is developing an AI-powered pendant to test in the next year, building on its 2025 acquisition of Limitless. Limitless made a shirt- or necklace-worn recorder for conversation capture, which makes privacy and usefulness the two core questions. The same memo reportedly says Meta plans to expand its AI-glasses lineup and launch a business subscription called Wearables for Work. This matters because Meta is trying to make Reality Labs more than a money-losing headset business after a reported $4B first-quarter loss. Watch whether Meta can pair useful memory, transcription, and workplace workflows with consent controls strong enough for real-world use.
