AI Pin at San Francisco
Humane AI Pin was a wearable AI companion device launched at $199, designed as a smartphone alternative. Discontinued in February 2025 after disappointing reviews and low sales (~10K units). Humane sold its assets to HP for $116M. The AI Pin is no longer functional — service was terminated for all buyers.
