A new wave of AI-powered gadgets on the market aims to integrate artificial intelligence into our daily lives like never before. Some of these AI wearables-including necklaces, rings, and wristbands, as well as portable devices- serve as productivity tools, while others claim to act as friendly companions listening to your everyday thoughts. Even OpenAI is working on a compact AI companion device.

Google's Pixel phones have been a revelation for journalists, offering real-time, on-device transcription through the Recorder app. I've often found myself bringing a Pixel along to a press event even if I wasn't actively using it as a phone at the time-the ability to get an automatic transcript once your recording is done has been an incredible timesaver.
