Amazon and Meta join race for AI wearables now in focus

Competition in AI wearables is spreading beyond familiar formats to necklace-style pendants, rings, wrist devices and portable terminals. Products range from productivity-focused devices that record and summarise meetings and calls to AI companions that respond to users’ emotions. Recently launched or in-development devices highlight functions such as conversation logs, scheduling, personalised advice and emotional support. Pricing, privacy features and integration with smartphones are cited as key factors shaping market leadership.
