Hardware startup Aina released a smart ring today that features a screen, a joystick, and a mic so that you can talk to your agents and take notes. The $399 ring has a speaker so you can take calls using it as well. The startup, which raised $5.5 million in July, is positioning the ring as a controller of sorts for both AI and non-AI apps. Aina plans to start shipping the device in January 2027. [1] [2]
