Friend
Friend is a wearable AI companion that talks with you through a necklace and companion iPhone app.
Friend is a wearable companion with a speaker, microphone, touch controls, lights, and USB-C charging. It listens while connected to the iPhone app, replies aloud, and supports private text and picture sharing in the app.
It is intended for everyday conversation, companionship, idea sharing, and discussing activities. It requires an iPhone and internet connection, does not currently support Android, and is not a medical, legal, emergency, or crisis-support product. The device costs extra, and permanent memories require a paid subscription.
