Meta builds AI pendant and launches Wearables for Work subscription

Meta is quietly advancing its wearable AI ambitions with a new device in the works: an AI-powered pendant designed for daily use. According to an internal memo seen by The Information, the company plans to begin testing the pendant within the next year. The project builds on Meta’s acquisition of Limitless, a startup it purchased at the end of 2025. Limitless originally created a pendant that could be clipped to a shirt or worn as a necklace, capturing conversations and helping users organize their daily interactions.

In parallel, Meta has also launched a new Wearables for Work subscription service. This initiative targets enterprise customers, offering a suite of connected devices and software tools designed to enhance productivity in professional settings. The subscription model aims to make wearable technology more accessible and manageable for businesses, combining hardware, software, and support into a single recurring fee.

The pendant represents Meta’s broader push into ambient computing and AI-assisted living, where devices seamlessly integrate into users’ routines without demanding constant attention. By leveraging Limitless’s existing technology, Meta hopes to accelerate development and bring a polished product to market faster. The pendant is expected to capture audio, summarize conversations, and provide context-aware reminders, essentially acting as a personal AI assistant that never leaves your side.

While the company has not disclosed specific pricing or a launch date for the pendant, the internal memo suggests that testing will begin soon. Combined with the Wearables for Work subscription, Meta is positioning itself to compete directly with other tech giants exploring similar AI wearables and enterprise-focused hardware. The move signals that Meta sees wearables not just as consumer gadgets, but as essential tools for the future of work and daily life.
