Ai Pin's seamless integration into daily routines will enable users to take the full power of AI everywhere, elevating your interactions with the world through its growing list of capabilities.

With Ai Pin, Humane is defining a new class of devices to bring AI to a personal level.

Optiva’s software and its years of global telecom industry expertise will empower Humane to focus on its vision and deliver a simplified, intuitive customer experience.

"The Ai Pin is our first step in building for a future where AI is embedded in our daily lives in ways which are screenless, seamless and sensing. We’re proud to work with Optiva to make this a reality, harnessing their BSS platform, telecom industry expertise and our shared passion for intelligent innovation," said Bethany Bongiorno, CEO and Co-founder of Humane.

Humane’s new Ai Pin is powered by Cosmos, a new operating system tailored for the AI era, with a software framework that eliminates the need for traditional app downloads. The Ai Pin delivers a conversational experience without the need for a screen or wake words and does not require being paired with a smartphone or other companion device. To provide wireless service for Ai Pin, Humane is launching its own MVNO.
