GoKawiilKey Takeaways Meta is reportedly developing an AI-powered pendant, according to an internal memo seen by The Information.
In 2025, Meta acquired Limitless, a startup whose Pendant device clipped to a user’s shirt or hung as a necklace to record conversations for AI summaries.
The new AI pendant is part of a broader Meta hardware roadmap that also includes expanding its AI glasses lineup.
Meta is working on a new AI pendant as part of a growing race to use AI in small, wearable devices.
An internal memo viewed by The Information stated that Meta plans to start testing an AI pendant within the next year. The device would hang around the neck and act as an always-on assistant. Its capabilities include recording speech, creating summaries and searching past conversations.
In 2025, Meta acquired Limitless, a startup that built an AI device called Pendant. Limitless’s device was a clip-on microphone that recorded everything a user said or heard while wearing it, turning it into transcripts and a searchable memory. Meta is likely using that technology as the basis for its own pendant, per The Information.

Meta’s hardware and metaverse division, Reality Labs, has accumulated over $80 billion in total operating losses since 2020, per CNBC. Meta’s leadership is looking for new hit products.
