The tech giant Meta is marking its next target in the field of artificial intelligence and is developing a smart pendant powered by AI, according to an internal company memo obtained by The Information website. According to the report, the company plans to begin trials and testing of the new wearable device as early as during the coming year. The current step comes as part of a broad effort by Meta to deepen its hold on the wearable computing market, which serves as a critical growth engine for it.

Meta’s new development is based on the assets and technology of the start-up company Limitless, which it acquired at the end of 2025. The start-up became famous for developing a dedicated pendant that users can clip to a shirt or wear as a necklace in order to record and document their conversations. At the time of the acquisition, Meta officially clarified that the move was intended to accelerate its efforts in developing wearable devices that integrate artificial intelligence capabilities, and now it appears that the company is beginning to translate the acquisition into a tangible product.

Meta’s attempt comes against the backdrop of a complex reality in the global hardware market. The first generation of wearable AI devices launched by various companies suffered a resounding failure and refused to gain traction among consumers. In the industry, this lack of success is attributed to heavy concerns regarding privacy violations, disconnected marketing strategies, or simply the fact that these products did not present sufficient practical utility for daily life. Despite these obstacles, giant companies like OpenAI and other entities are not giving up and continue to invest extensive resources in the field of wearable computing.

Alongside the development of the pendant, the internal memo reveals that Meta plans to expand its AI glasses line and even launch a dedicated subscription package for the business sector under the brand Wearables for Work. Through these moves, the company hopes to reverse the negative financial trend of the Reality Labs division, which centralizes Meta’s hardware activity, after the latter recorded a heavy financial loss of $4 billion in the first quarter of the current year. From the TechCrunch website, it was reported that a request for comment was sent to Meta.
