SwitchBot, the smart home automation company, has arrived at CES 2026 this year and joined the list of companies in the AI wearable space with the Switchbot AI MindClip.
Like the wearable AI devices from Plaud, Bee or Anker’s Soundcore Work, SwitchBot's AI MindClip is there to take down notes and record conversations and meetings for you.
While details are still light on this particular product, it will have a focus on its user being able to search through ‘memories’ and track down important information that it has recorded in the past.
What other AI wearables are out there?
In the world of AI devices, the market is surprisingly slim. The area that has seen the most success is the one that Switchbot has ventured into, with a robust competition of different AI recording devices.
However, while these devices make up most of the AI tools you’ll see, there are other areas companies are trying to move into. We’ve seen ‘AI friendship’ wearables, like Friend, where a device interacts with the world, making conversation with you throughout the day.
There have also been companies like the Humane Pin, which tried to replace smartphones, and Rabbit R1 (a company that has gone through some issues in recent months).
While the successful devices seem to be limited to just AI audio recorders right now, there is a push for more AI tools. OpenAI, for example, has been rumoured to be working on its own set of devices for years, with a potential release date looming.
If this proves successful, we could then see a whole new set of AI devices offering assistants, audio recorders, cameras and more.
