Description
Go beyond your mind’s limitations: Personalized AI powered by what you’ve seen, said, and heard.
Summary
The acquisition of wearable AI startup Limitless by Meta signals a significant consolidation of frontier AI hardware and personal assistant technologies. This move integrates 'personal superintelligence' capabilities directly into consumer wearables, raising critical questions about long-term data privacy and the pervasive monitoring of human interactions. While the acquisition focuses on productivity, the deployment of always-on AI hardware at scale accelerates the development of agentic systems that could pose future governance and safety challenges if not properly aligned with human intent and safety guardrails.
Body
Message from Dan Siroker, Co-Founder & CEOI'm excited to share that Limitless has been acquired by Meta. I'm going to share why we joined forces, what this means for customers, and what comes next.First, why? When we started Limitless five years ago, the world was very different. AI was a pipe dream to many. Hardware startups were considered unfundable, and a business that did both AI and hardware would have been considered ludicrous.But today is different. The world has changed. We're no longer working on a weird fringe idea. We're building a future that now seems inevitable. We're not alone.Meta recently announced a new vision to bring personal superintelligence to everyone and a key part of that vision is building incredible AI-enabled wearables. We share this vision and we'll be joining Meta to help bring our shared vision to life.What does this mean for existing customers? Good news. We will continue to support existing Pendant customers for at least another year, but we'll no longer sell the Pendant to new customers. You'll no longer need to pay a subscription, and existing customers get the Unlimited Plan for free. That said, we will be sunsetting non-Pendant functionality like Rewind, and there'll be updates to regional availability. For continuing customers, you will need to agree to our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Whether you choose to continue to use the Pendant or not, your data will remain safe.We just launched a feature to make it easy to export all of your data. And of course, if you want to delete all of your data, that is also very easy to do within the app.Lastly, I want to thank each and every one of you for going on this journey with us. I look forward to sharing more when I can.Thanks,
