It’s here. After months of hype, leaks and reveals, Humane has officially revealed the Ai Pin. The small device magnetically attaches to its wearer’s lapel, collecting data via an on-board camera. It’s powered by a Qualcomm chip and leverages AI. Humane believes that one day it could replace your smartphone. It will be available to order November 16.

It somewhat resembles Narrative Clip, the ill-fated lifelogging camera. The square device (or squircle, if you will) features a camera and microphone, along with depth and motion sensors, collecting data that is processed on-board by a Snapdragon processor. Voice control is at the heart of the product, as a seemingly logical next step from smartphone assistants like Siri. The pin communicates with the wearer by way of a “personic speaker” or paired Bluetooth headphones.
