A group of former engineers from Apple has developed a new artificial intelligence wearable device known as “Button,” marking another step in the growing shift toward compact, screenless technology.
The device is designed as a small portable AI assistant that activates only when pressed, a feature its creators say enhances user privacy by limiting constant data collection and background listening.
According to its developers, Button allows users to access AI-powered assistance on demand, offering a more controlled and discreet interaction compared to traditional always-on smart devices.
Industry observers say the innovation reflects a broader trend in the tech sector toward minimalist, screenless AI tools that prioritize convenience, privacy, and seamless integration into daily life.
The unveiling comes amid increasing competition in the wearable technology market, as companies continue to explore new ways of delivering artificial intelligence beyond smartphones and computers.
