Unlimited AI Pendant Features
The wearable pendant acts as a recording tool that records everything said around it. Using AI algorithms, the device can intelligently recognize and record only spoken words, not ambient sounds or background noise. It can also isolate different speakers. Recording capability is only half of the entire Limitless offering. The second part is a companion app that is available on macOS, Windows, and as a web app.
The recordings are saved to the cloud, and once the session ends, the device saves and stores the recordings on a server that can be accessed through the app. The app also provides information in the recording in four different formats – supporting context, transcript, notes and summary.
Context gives a brief outline of the interaction with specific keywords while summary provides a detailed description of the events. The transcript is a raw transcription of the entire conversation, and the notes provide timestamps for ease of searching.
Talking about the specifications of the wearable, it is a flexible clasp with magnetic ends that can be worn as a pendant or clipped to clothing. When folded, the width of the device is 31.9 mm and thickness is 16 mm. The company claims that the device offers 100 hours of battery life and it supports USB Type-C charging.
The Limitless pendant is equipped with multiple microphones that help it capture audio. The device turns on a visible LED light to indicate when it is recording. It supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to sync data with apps and cloud.
Limitless also focuses on privacy. The company has added a consent mode where the device records voice only after the speaker gives verbal consent. It can recognize consent through contextual language, so users don’t have to break the flow of conversation.
For data security, the company has introduced Confidential Cloud, which is a secure cloud server where data is encrypted and stored but is not accessible to anyone except the user. This is similar to how Telegram and Signal store end-to-end encrypted data that can be accessed across different devices but remains private to the user.
