According to TechCrunch AI, Meta’s pivot to AI wearables appears to be a desperate bid to salvage its struggling hardware division, which lost $4 billion in Q1 alone. The reported pendant, building on Limitless’s technology, faces an uphill battle: earlier AI wearables have largely failed to resonate with consumers, often due to privacy fears or limited utility. While Meta’s expansion into AI glasses and a “Wearables for Work” subscription suggests a broader strategy, it’s unclear whether these products can overcome the market’s tepid reception to similar devices. The success of this venture may hinge on Meta’s ability to address these longstanding issues while delivering tangible value to users.

“Earlier AI wearables have failed to catch on with consumers — perhaps due to privacy concerns and tone-deaf marketing, or perhaps because they just weren’t that useful.”
