Meta has acquired Limitless, known for its AI-powered Pendant, to further its consumer hardware division. The acquisition aligns with Meta’s vision of creating AI-enabled wearables, expanding beyond their existing VR headsets and smart glasses. Limitless, led by CEO Dan Siroker, initially developed Rewind, a desktop productivity tool, before moving into hardware with the Pendant, a Bluetooth microphone that records and summarizes audio. Meta’s interest in AI wearables is part of a broader trend, as evidenced by similar moves from companies like Amazon. The acquisition hints at a future lineup of AI-powered wearables, potentially including products like Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
