This is the smallest and newest category: a badge, a clip or a pin with an assistant inside and no screen at all. The bet is that talking to something on your chest is more natural than looking at something on your wrist. Whether that is true is still an open question, which is partly why the category is small and the products short-lived.

What is counted here

Screenless worn devices whose published purpose is running an assistant, capturing notes or answering questions.

What is not

Smart speakers, phone accessories, and pendants that are only a Bluetooth button for a voice assistant on the phone.

A product belongs to exactly one category. Where a device could sit in two, we file it by what it does most of the time — and say so on its page.

How to choose between them

  1. 1

    Check whether it needs the phone for inference. A badge that proxies to an app is a remote control.

  2. 2

    Look at the interaction: a button, a wake word or always-listening — three very different privacy postures.

  3. 3

    The category has a high mortality rate. Ask what happens to your data if the company stops.

Head-to-head in this category

Questions this category raises

Is a screenless assistant better than a phone?
It is faster to start and worse to read. For short questions it wins; for anything visual it does not.
What happens when the maker shuts down?
Usually the device stops working, because the assistant runs on their servers. That risk is not hypothetical in this category.

Other things a human can augment

Sorted by what the device augments, not by what it costs. Every product card links to the maker's page; every claim on a product page links to the sentence it came from. Catalogue state: 5 published products in AI Wearables, last read 31 Oct 2026.
