# Meta is reportedly developing an AI pendant > Source: > Published: 2026-05-30 15:59:58+00:00 Meta is developing an AI-powered pendant that it plans to start testing in the next year, according to a memo [viewed by The Information](https://www.theinformation.com/articles/meta-memo-outlines-ambitious-hardware-plans-including-new-ai-pendant). This device would presumably build on the work of Limitless, an [AI device startup that Meta acquired](https://techcrunch.com/2025/12/05/meta-acquires-ai-device-startup-limitless/) at the end of 2025. The startup made an AI pendant that users could attach to their shirt or wear as a necklace to record their conversations. At the time, Meta said the acquisition would allow it to “accelerate our work to build AI-enabled wearables.” Earlier AI wearables have failed to catch on with consumers — perhaps due to [privacy concerns and tone-deaf marketing](https://techcrunch.com/2025/09/27/ai-startup-friend-spent-more-than-1m-on-all-those-subway-ads/), or perhaps because they [just weren’t that useful](https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/18/humanes-ai-pin-is-dead-as-hp-buys-startups-assets-for-116m/). But companies like OpenAI [aren’t giving up](https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/05/openai-and-jony-ive-may-be-struggling-to-figure-out-their-ai-device/). The memo also reportedly states that the company is planning to expand its lineup of AI glasses and launch a business subscription called Wearables for Work. With all these planned devices, Meta is apparently hoping to reverse the fortunes of its hardware-focused Reality Labs division, which [lost $4 billion](https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/29/meta-is-still-burning-money-on-ar-vr/) in the first quarter of this year. TechCrunch has reached out to Meta for comment.
