Humane AI Pin Makes Its Runway Debut In Paris
Humane AI Pin Makes Its Runway Debut In Paris
Humane, a covert software and hardware firm, is plainly riding the media hype cycle to the fullest. The startup began in 2017, when Bethany Bongiorno and Imran Chaudhri, both former Apple workers, started it. In the ensuing half-decade, the company has been mostly shrouded in mystery as it has assembled the elements of a mysterious wearable, which it promises would harness AI in novel ways.
The company has generated a lot of attention when it first engaged with the media – long before it revealed anything about what it’s been working on. Humane is currently an incredibly well-funded early stage firm, despite — or perhaps because of — such mysteries.

It raised a $30 million Series A with a $150 million valuation at the end of 2020. The following September, Tiger Global Management, SoftBank Group, BOND, Forerunner Ventures, and Qualcomm Ventures led a $100 million B round. It all appeared to be a significant vote of confidence for the still-secretive corporation. It raised another $100 million in March of this year.
Sam Altman is also a significant investor in the company. So it’s no surprise that OpenAI is a crucial contributor on the artificial intelligence side of the equation.
Humane announced in June that its first product would be a “AI Pin.”

“The [AI Pin is a] connected and intelligent clothing-based wearable device uses a range of sensors that enable contextual and ambient compute interactions,” the company noted at the time. “The Ai Pin is a type of standalone device with a software platform that harnesses the power of Ai to enable innovative personal computing experiences.”
It was reported today that the smartphone will be officially unveiled on November 9th. Meanwhile, it’s making the rounds at various Parisian fashion events. During Coperni’s 2024 Spring Summer show at Paris Fashion Week, the device purportedly made an appearance on the lapel of supermodel Naomi Campbell, making her the “first person outside of the company to wear the device in public.”
“We have been admirers of Arnaud and Sébastien at Coperni for some time and our shared passion for the union of design, creativity and technology is at the heart of this collaboration,” Humane founders Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno said in a release. “Our relationship with technology is changing profoundly, becoming even more personal as our devices morph into extensions of our bodies, minds and hearts.”
If that sounds like a collection of buzzwords linked together, you’re not mistaken. It’s impossible to separate the finished product from the self-generated hype until we actually see it in action. According to the photos, it’s a screenless gadget, albeit the huge front panel may have some purpose. Above that are what appear to be front-facing sensors, maybe in conjunction with additional sensors on top aimed at the wearer’s face.
Humane is also emphasizing the “standalone device” narrative, which suggests that part of the draw here may be the opportunity to leave your smartphone at home, similar to what firms have pushed with LTE-enabled smartwatches.

While you’re on the phone, the buds can cut down on background noise, and the sound quality is pretty damn good. According to Google, you may use the earbuds for up to five hours of listening time and 2.5 hours of talking before having to put them back in their case.
It looks like you can listen for up to 24 hours straight before charging the case. After just 15 minutes of charging, you may extend the listening time by three hours with the use of rapid charging.
There isn’t actual active noise cancellation present, but there is an adaptive sound feature that lets you set the volume automatically.

Gemini To Get Assistant Routines
Assistant Routines may soon be supported on Gemini, according to an APK dissection of the Google app.
One of the main reasons so many are using Google Assistant rather than signing up for Gemini is that it lacks routines.
Regretfully, neither the precise integration of Routines into Gemini nor the possible release date are known

Google first launched Google Assistant Routines back in 2017. You can use this functionality to perform several actions with a single voice command. Saying “Hey Google, let’s watch a movie,” for instance, would cause Assistant to simultaneously turn out the lights, switch on the TV, and put your phone in do not disturb mode.
Even while Google is pitching Gemini, its generative AI-powered assistant, as a replacement for Google Assistant, Gemini still lacks Routines-like functionality. Fortunately, that might not last long.
Based on work-in-progress code, an APK breakdown assists in forecasting features that might be added to a service in the future. It’s possible, though, that these anticipated features won’t be released to the general public.

The Google app for Android is now in beta version 15.24.28.29.arm64 beta. We discovered a work-in-progress page that makes explicit reference to Assistant Routines and how Gemini would support them. This page is viewable in the screenshot below, which we must stress is a work in progress:
Based on the information available on this website, it seems that Gemini will not be getting its own Routines system—at least not quite yet. Rather, it seems that Gemini will allow you to manage Assistant Routines. It will be awkward because you will have to use Assistant to create new routines and Gemini to activate them, but at least it’s an improvement over nothing.
While there are many additional features that Assistant can perform that Gemini cannot, one of the main drawbacks that keep Android users from fully committing to Gemini is likely the inability to control routines. If nothing else, this APK disassembly demonstrates Google’s ongoing efforts to bring Gemini’s features up to line with Assistant.
Regretfully, we are unsure of the timeline for when this functionality will be activated. However, given that it’s showing up in beta code, we anticipate it to be available in a few weeks or months.
