Forget smart glasses and earbuds — the next AI interface might be on your finger. Hardware startup Aina has launched a $399 smart ring that packs a surprising amount of technology into a tiny form factor, including a screen, joystick, microphone, and speaker.
AI at Your Fingertips
The Aina ring is designed specifically for AI interaction. Users can talk to AI agents, dictate messages, manage phone calls, and navigate information — all from a device that weighs just a few grams. The built-in display shows notifications and quick responses.
A New Form Factor
While smartwatches have dominated the wearable space, the ring form factor offers unique advantages: it's always accessible, doesn't require wrist movement, and is far more discreet in social situations. The joystick provides tactile navigation without needing to look at a screen.
At $399, the Aina ring positions itself as a premium alternative to traditional wearables, betting that AI-first interactions will drive the next wave of personal computing.
