Nirva Labs announced it has completed $25 million in early-stage funding to develop wearable AI jewelry. According to a TechCrunch AI report, this is a pre-Series A round; combined with $8 million earlier this year, the company has raised a total of $33 million. Its first device is a pendant weighing about 8 grams that can be worn as a bracelet, with up to 3 days of battery life. It builds a model from the user's voice collected during an onboarding phase and filters out the voices of others nearby, and by default it does not retain audio or transcripts; the device is priced at $249, with pre-orders opening in November and shipments to early users before the end of the year. SiliconANGLE reported the same day that the product can automatically record users' daily lives, identify patterns in emotions and interpersonal relationships, and offer suggestions through a companion app; the AI mainly recognizes the user's own voice and, with authorization, can read calendar, location, and Apple Health data. The company is currently in the stage of taking product pre-orders and preparing for initial shipments.
