Smart rings are popular ways to track our health and wellness, but what if your ring could also record your work meetings?
The ring from Vocci AI, which I saw at CES 2026, looks like any other smart ring, but it's designed to integrate with your professional life rather than your personal one. Notably, the Vocci ring isn't an always-listening, omnipresent device. Recording begins only when you manually press a small button on the side of the ring. Once recording begins, it captures the meeting and generates a transcript when the recording is over.

How the Vocci AI ring works
If you want to revisit an important moment in a meeting, you can tap the button on the side of the ring. Vocci will flag that section in the transcript in red and provide AI-generated insights based on those notes. It supports more than 100 languages.

The ring itself is 2.8mm thick and 6.8mm wide, giving it a look similar to a typical smart ring -- like those made by Oura -- but with physical buttons built in. The ring can capture about 8 hours of recording time.
