Early Reviews Find Humane AI Pin Has Buggy Performance, Limited Features Despite High Price
-
The Humane AI Pin is a new device that aims to be a voice-controlled personal assistant, but early reviews show it is buggy, slow, and lacking expected features. It costs $699 plus monthly fees.
-
The Pin has touch, voice, and projection controls and can do calls, texts, notes, photos, etc. But it lacks reminders, directions, calendar integration. More features are promised.
-
Battery life is currently poor at just 5 hours of sporadic use. The projection screen is hard to see outdoors. The AI sometimes struggles to understand and respond quickly.
-
You need a T-Mobile data plan ($24/month) for connectivity and a Tidal account ($11/month) for music. Preorders ship in May; non-preorders later.
-
It's not meant to fully replace a smartphone yet, but aims to handle common tasks more hands-free. Reviewers note it often fails to live up to promises for speed and accuracy.
