Rabbit R1, Humane AI Pin and Limitless Pendant have all been withdrawn.
Tony Fadell says they had interesting technology but did not solve a specific everyday problem or work well enough as personal assistants.
His proposed direction for future assistants is to run on the user’s device, so sensitive information would not need to be sent elsewhere.
That is Fadell’s view, not a feature of the withdrawn products.

Humane Ai Pin hacks turn the discontinued gadget into a standalone Android-powered gadget
The Humane Ai Pin is a tiny wearable device that launched in 2024 and was discontinued less than a year later. With a microphone for voice input, a built-in camera, and a projector that displays information on your hand, it was designed as an AI companion device. And when it was canceled, it basically stopped working.
But independent developers stepped in and started looking for ways to keep […]

Gizmodo: Apple’s AI Pendant Sounds Like a Watered-Down Humane Ai Pin. “If you were tempted to make the comparison between Apple’s rumored AI pin and Humane’s notorious Ai Pin, let me stop you right there. There’s (reportedly) a big difference, and that difference is that Humane’s defunct AI gadget actually tried to be something other than an accessory to your phone.”

Lilbits: Hacking the Humane Ai Pin, Liberux NEXX Linux phone, and swearing at your Windows PC
The Humane Ai Pin was supposed to be a wearable device that allowed you to interact with an AI assistant throughout the day without using your phone or computer. But when it hit the streets last year it was widely panned as an overpriced, underpowered device that largely failed to deliver on its promise.
So it wasn’t a huge surprise that when HP acquired the company this year, it shut down […]

PenumbraOS is a work-in-progress platform for bringing the discontinued Humane Ai Pin back to live as a dev platform. It includes an SDK and an app called MABL that works as a launcher and AI assistant. https://hackaday.com/2025/06/19/flopped-humane-ai-pin-gets-an-experimental-sdk/ #PenumbraOS #Humane #HumaneAiPin #AiPin
Update: The developer behind OpenPin has ceased work on the open source project to keep Humane's discontinued AI Pin functional, but says while no new features or improvements are coming, it'll continue to function as is. https://liliputing.com/openpin-is-an-open-source-project-to-revive-humanes-dead-ai-pin/ #rehumane #humane #HumaneAiPin #OpenPin
How-To Geek: The Humane Pin Is Dead, but OpenPin Wants to Bring It Back. “A group of udevelopers started an open-source project called OpenPin with the goal of bringing the device back to life. OpenPin gets around the problem of Humane’s dead servers by providing a new server system. By modifying the AI Pin’s software, users can connect their devices to the OpenPin server and get back […]
"There is very little to say about the Humane AI pin right now other than they are very lucky that the vast majority of tech journalists in the United States are too busy writing about the Elon Musk-led ransacking of the federal government to dunk on this company in the way it truly deserves (we are also doing this but need a break for five minutes).
The company and the tech was wildly hyped, wasted gazillions of dollars (it raised $240 million in funding), made something terrible, existed for less than a year, and are now hazardous e-waste that is a huge pain in the ass to safely dispose of. The saving grace of all of this is that Humane sold so few devices (roughly 10,000) that the number of consumers who are affected is relatively low as these things go and therefore, there are fewer of them that need to be recycled."

The Verge: Humane is shutting down the AI Pin and selling its remnants to HP. “Humane is selling most of its company to HP for $116 million and will stop selling AI Pin, the company announced today. AI Pins that have already been purchased will continue to function normally until 3PM ET on February 28th, Humane says in a support document. After that date, Pins will ‘no longer connect to […]
Der #HumaneAiPin nach nach rund einem Jahr am Ende. Zeigt mir genau das, was ich am aktuellen KI Hype kritisiere: KI einbauen einfach weil es da ist, ist NICHT wertsteigernd für Kund*innen. LLMs können manche Dinge recht gut, manches aber gar nicht und niemals garantiert fehlerfrei und genau DAS wird ständig eingebaut 🤷♂️
From building and designing a non-functional AI wearable, that was overpriced, did not solve any of technology's problems, now produced a ton of waste, to helping inject artificial intelligence into... in-house printers.

HP is acquiring Humane’s assets, but shutting down the Ai Pin business (and bricking existing units)
The Humane Ai Pin generated a lot of buzz ahead of launch as Humane positioned it as a brand new category for mobile devices that would leverage artificial intelligence to let you perform all sorts of tasks without a phone or PC.
It was a spectacular flop at launch with reviewers complaining that the product was overpriced and the core service could have just been a smartphone app. Within a […]
Humane recalls Charge Case accessory for the Ai Pin due to fire risk
The Humane Ai Pin is a wearable wearable gadget that launched earlier this year to a chorus or reviews that largely amounted to “this thing is overpriced, doesn’t work very well, and could probably have just been an app.”
As if that wasn’t bad enough, this summer the company told customers to stop using the charging case that comes with the pin because it might catch fire. Now Humane has […]
“The Worst Product Ever” Admired
“The ‘worst product ever’ has a lot to admire”
But barring its practical limitations, the concept behind the AI Pin was a brilliant exercise in design. It is a step in the right direction when it comes to personal technology being designed with user wellbeing in mind.
The question becomes: Will those who reviewed and (justifiably) condemned the Humane AI Pin review it again after the CosmOS 1.2 update? It’s now where it should have been at launch and is more indicative of what Humane was aiming at. It should get a second chance.

Humane Ai Pin gets a $200 price cut… still costs $499 + $24 monthly subscription
The Humane Ai Pin generated a lot of buzz last year as a new kind of wearable device designed to let you tap into AI features at any time without pulling your phone out of your pocket or your laptop out of your bag. But when it launched earlier this year, reviewers almost universally panned the device for costing too much and doing too little.
Now Humane is slashing the price by $200… but […]

"The two founders apparently "preferred positivity over criticism, leading them to disregard warnings about the AI Pin’s poor battery life and power consumption."
The level of head-assedness is baffling, but it helps recalling, that Humane is lead by two former Apple employees, so it's no wonder that they've got their heads up so far up their own asses, they think they can just start another cult around a product that's more about corporate soft-speak than substance.
"A senior software engineer was dismissed after raising questions about the product, they said, while others left out of frustration." After that software engineer was fired for questioning if the AI pin would be ready for launch, the report describes a staff meeting where the founders "said the employee had violated policy by talking negatively about Humane."
So basically, the founders threw a tamper tantrum because someone dared to ask if what was being built would actually be functional. Lovely.
"It's hard to make a good product if you can't honestly talk about the negatives and positives for fear of retaliation."
You just know they knew it was all bullshit and they just wanted to siphon all the venture capital money into their own pockets and fuck off without having earned any of it.
Lilbits: Oh the Humane-ity: AI startup is hoping HP will buy it for $1 billion
The Humane Ai Pin was supposed to be the first in a new category of wearable, AI-first devices. But it arrived this year to universally awful reviews citing its limited functionality, spotty reliability, awful battery life, and high price, just to name a few problems.
Last month we learned that Humane was looking to sell the company. Now a new report suggests […]

Lilbits: Humane looks for an exit, another dual-screen monitor is coming, and Antec works with AYANEO to bring a handheld gaming PC to market
UPERFECT is running a crowdfunding campaign for another dual touchscreen monitor, this time with a choice of 16 inch or 18 inch models featuring 2560 x 1600 pixel, 120 Hz displays. After a pretty disastrous launch of its first product, the makers of the Humane Ai Pin are looking to sell the company. And there may be another name in the handheld gaming PC space […]

Is it going to be something subtle, like a change to the color of the vectors in the vector field? I think this would be something like a change in modality, like a move to #AugmentedReality glasses, or like the recently announced #Camerabuds from Meta/Facebook or a successful version of something like the #HumaneAIPin. It may change how we interact with the #gatekeepers, but it's not a fundamental. 11/
Lilbits: Rabbit R1 portable AI device reviews are in… and they’re bad (Also: Microsoft makes security a top priority, and abxylute makes a mobile controller)
This year two buzzy startups have been trying to cash in on the AI craze by introducing portable devices designed to let you use AI assistant software on the go without pulling your phone out of your pocket. But if early reviews are anything to go by, neither of those companies has delivered a compelling reason for why you’d actually want to do that… and […]

Are all of those AI pins and wearables be an App?
Yes.
They're just an update away from Apple, Google and Samsung to be useless.
They were made to be sold to some corpo, cashout and live in the Bahamas. Not for solving a problem.

Buongiorno da Humane che ha infine rilasciato il suo rivoluzionario prodotto AI Pin, che doveva sostituire gli smartphone e creare un nuovo modo di interagire con la tecnologia attraverso l'AI è infine uscito, e invece non soddisfa praticamente nessuna delle promesse che aveva fatto.
Nella seconda parte facciamo il punto su alcuni layoff e licenziamenti nell'industria.

It's so wild to me that people would even think that a review by some random YouTuber can kill a company
My brother in Christ: if product shit, then product shit and reviews gonna be shit
Correlation does not imply causation
Don't shoot the messenger
My biggest gripe with Apple products, as far as user experience, and especially with the iPhone, is Siri.
And I'm betting I'm not alone on this.
The problem is it still relies too heavily on cloud computing, making the experience slow and unreliable.
#Humane had an opportunity to improve this pain point with the #HumaneAiPin, but instead opted for a cloud subscription model. Not because that was best for the user, but because it was best for venture capitalists.
If Apple comes out with a new #LLM powered #Siri and gets it performant on the #AppleWatch — I think that might be the last nail in the #humaneaipin coffin.
Of course, that's if all the tech reviews haven't already nailed the lid down… ⚰️

I think some combination of personal hubris, a need to be “from the inventors of the iPhone” for VC money, & perhaps a need to justify leaving #Apple, resulted in just not being able to correctly position the #HumaneAiPin as what it currently is. To ship while missing features as basic as alarms suggests immense pressure to go to market.
Contrast that with Tony Fadell starting off with the far more modest target of shitty thermostats and subsequently building Nest into a $3.2 billion exit.
Not that I’m happy to see a product fail, but I think that with the #HumaneAIPin there is a solid case study about hype and humility.
@carnage4life
The #humaneaipin laser is crap, but the back end punches out Ozone holes *way* above its weight.
Should you buy the hyped #HumaneAIPin? According to MKBHD's harsh review of the AI-powered gadget projecting onto your hand, the answer is a resounding no.

Have you been curious about the Hu.man.ne AI Pin phone laser projector digital assistant wearable camera thingy? Well, curious no more! It's a pile of useless junk that will set you back US$700 and US$24 a month and only hits 4G speeds while needing a few batteries and a mobile charger to run for an entire day... if it doesn't overheat. Sadly, we're not at the Star Trek communicator badge just yet. #technology #humaneAIpin #dumpsterfire #reviews https://mjtsai.com/blog/2024/04/11/humane-ai-pin-reviews/
After watching the Humane AI Pin review from The Verge, I am shocked that this thing costs $700, if anything the company should pay users for testing this device. #humaneaipin #Technology #theverge
Maybe it should have been the Humility Ai pin. 🤔
Early reviews of the Humane Ai pin are out and, unsurprisingly, it does not look good.
The Verge: “For $699 and $24 a month, this wearable computer promises to free you from your smartphone. There’s only one problem: it just doesn’t work.”
