· 4 pulledStream Ring is designed to 'capture thoughts in the moment' as a tool for 'self extension,' the company says.
Wearers can 'whisper in a crowd' and the ring will record and transcribe their thoughts.
Users can preorder the Stream Ring now for $249 for silver or $299 for gold, and it's expected to ship to the US in the summer of 2026.
Another AI-powered wearable is coming to market. It's not a pendant like Friend, nor a wristband like Amazon's Bee. This time, it's a smart ring.
