Seven hundred dollars. That's the hefty price tag attached to the long-awaited Humane AI Pin, a wearable device that has generated significant hype and curiosity over the past year. However, even after its release, numerous questions remain unanswered.

In an episode of The Vergecast, the hosts undertake an in-depth review of the AI Pin, delving into its features and functionality to determine what went wrong with the device and whether it has a viable future.
