TechCrunch lists 10 AI wearables including Bee, Friend, and Rabbit R1

Key devices include Bee, an Amazon-owned pendant priced at $49.99 that records audio and creates reminders, with new models like the Bee Frontier ($74.99) and Bee Eclipse ($99.99) launching this month. Friend, a $129 emotional support pendant, recently updated to "Friend 2.0" with a built-in speaker, though it has faced public criticism over privacy concerns. Other entries include Limitless ($99) for meeting transcription, Omi ($89) which uses ChatGPT for personalized advice, and Plaud NotePin ($159) for professional note-taking.

The list also features upcoming or niche hardware, such as Meta's Muse Charm, which includes a digital avatar, and Nirva, a $249 device focused on personal growth insights. Rabbit R1, a $199 handheld device, has expanded its capabilities with a new "Creations" feature, while Sandbar's Stream ring is expected to launch at $299. These devices generally rely on continuous listening or specific recording triggers to provide summaries, reminders, or conversational support.
