The Humane Ai Pin is a tiny wearable device that launched in 2024 and was discontinued less than a year later. With a microphone for voice input, a built-in camera, and a projector that displays information on your hand, it was designed as an AI companion device. And when it was canceled, it basically stopped working. But independent developers stepped in and started looking for ways to keep the hardware functional. And now, more than a year after official support ended, the Ai Pin is actually more useful than ever.

The Humane Ai Pin was supposed to be a wearable device that allowed you to interact with an AI assistant throughout the day without using your phone or computer. But when it hit the streets last year it was widely panned as an overpriced, underpowered device that largely failed to deliver on its promise. So it wasn't a huge surprise that when HP acquired the company this year, it shut down Humane's servers and effectively turned existing devices into expensive paperweights.

The Humane Ai Pin generated a lot of buzz ahead of launch as Humane positioned it as a brand new category for mobile devices that would leverage artificial intelligence to let you perform all sorts of tasks without a phone or PC. It was a spectacular flop at launch with reviewers complaining that the product was overpriced and the core service could have just been a smartphone app.

It’s something, it’s just not The Thing.

The AI Pin is a flop, but Humane wants other companies to build products using its CosmOS operating system.

The Humane AI Pin was meant to pioneer ambient AI and a hands-free future. But as MKBHD explains in his excoriating video review, it fails to deliver on that promise.

The launch of the Humane Ai Pin sees invisible computing and ubiquitous AI take a big step towards the mainstream
