Last month, Humane, a company founded by former Apple executives, announced that its debut product would be available early next year. And now the company is ready to be a little more precise about the Humane Ai Pin's launch date.

In a post to X, the company revealed that the wearable will reach early adopters' chests in March.

"In honor of your early support, we will deliver the Ai pins first to those who place priority orders when we begin shipping in March," the company wrote.

After this first batch runs out, all purchases will be shipped "in the order received, based on date of purchase."

"All of us at Humanik can't wait for you to experience Ai Pin, the world's first wearable computer powered by Ai. We are extremely grateful for the enthusiasm and support we have received, especially from our early supporters."

First revealed in early April through a leaked TED tech demo, the wearable is a bold attempt to imagine portable technology without a screen. It's like having Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri pinned to your chest, but with a bit more functionality. In the demo, the Humane Ai Pin displayed call information on a person's hand through a projector and scanned the ingredients of a candy bar for allergens that might be harmful to the owner.

This clever feature comes at a high price of $699. And this price does not include the $24/month subscription fee required to keep the device active.

Needless to say, those who pre-order are taking a gamble here. While the screen may get a bad rap thanks to its ability to pull focus away from the world around us and the general addictiveness of smartphone apps, it has a huge advantage that audio alone can't replicate: you can't edit spreadsheets on the Humane Ai Pin, and you can't use the device to make a spreadsheet, which is a big plus for a device like the Humane Ai Pin, While it can be paired with Bluetooth headphones, you still have to voice your requests.

Still, we are intrigued by the Humane Ai Pin. This is a truly different take on technology, and if the user experience is as seamless as the demo, it has a lot of potential. We will know in March, when the first user reviews begin to emerge, if a second generation is a possibility.
