TechCrunch
Natura launches Interface, a $99 smart ring that controls AI agents and tracks health, with pre-orders next month.

Summary

Natura, an AI and hardware startup founded by Carlo Edoardo Ferraris, has unveiled Interface, a $99 smart ring designed for the AI agent era. The ring allows users to control AI agents like ChatGPT, Claude, Grokbot, and Instinct via voice commands to perform tasks such as booking reservations, sending meeting notes, or controlling smart home devices and computers. It also doubles as a health tracker, monitoring heart rate, HRV, sleep, activity, and skin temperature. Pre-orders open next month with shipping in December or January. Initially priced at $99 to drive adoption, Natura plans to introduce a $9 monthly subscription after a free period, and eventually raise the price. The company claims superior battery life of 6 to 12 days and a compact design, combining health tracking with agent communication and external memory. Ferraris believes the ring will eventually become the primary interface between users and technology, starting with tech enthusiasts and expanding to most people within a year.
