Meta is developing an AI-powered pendant based on Limitless, a startup it acquired in late 2025. The device will be tested over the next year and will become part of a new business subscription, Wearables for Work, aimed at the corporate segment.

What the pendant is

The Limitless pendant is a wearable device the size of a medallion that clips onto a shirt or is worn as a necklace. It has a highly sensitive microphone and a compact camera that record the user's surroundings in real time.

Meta plans to integrate its own AI models to perform work tasks based on this data. The pendant will help employees automatically draft meeting notes, quickly find information from earlier conversations, and manage their calendar by voice command. This should let workers stay focused on their main job, delegating routine operations to an AI assistant.

The corporate subscription and its features

Meta has announced plans to create Wearables for Work, a business subscription designed specifically for the corporate segment. It will be part of a broader strategy to bring AI wearables into the workplace. The company competes directly with similar projects from Microsoft, Google and other players that are also investing in this area.

The subscription's main features include:

  • Automatic note-taking and meeting minutes, with a synthesis of key decisions
  • Voice access to information from corporate databases, plus control commands
  • Built-in integration with Slack, Outlook, Google Calendar and other systems
  • Privacy protection through end-to-end encryption and local processing of confidential data

Why it works now

Meta is investing in the wearables category, which was long considered niche and low-margin. But the development of large AI models that can understand context from real-time video and audio streams has changed the picture dramatically. Modern models can recognize not only words but also emotions, meeting participants, documents on a desk and other context. That makes pendants a potentially useful tool for office workers, helping them work more efficiently.

"This is a shift from consumer gadgets to professional tools that

solve real problems in the office," analysts say.

What it means

Wearable AI assistants are moving from labs into commercial products. For companies, this opens a new channel for interacting with employees and can potentially raise productivity. However, constant recording of surroundings raises acute privacy and ethics questions: it requires explicit employee consent and robust protection of data against leaks and unauthorized access.
