Nothing CEO says company’s mysterious AI-first device is dropping next month

Nothing, the smartphone startup behind the Nothing Phone, is developing an AI product, though its exact nature remains unclear. On Wednesday, CEO Carl Pei posted on X that the company’s first “AI-native product” will ship in December. Pei described it as a “tool” built with the personality and care that define Nothing products, noting it has no new screen and couldn’t have been an app. He has previously teased an AI-first device, and the company has also said it plans to release AI-linked smart glasses and earbuds with AI integrations. Pei called the product a “productivity tool” and seemed to downplay any link to AI wearables, writing, “The whole industry is hunting for its iPhone moment: the pendant, the pin, the glasses, the companion, some magical consumer device that makes AI part of everyone’s life. I admire the boldness, but I read this moment differently.” No firm release date has been announced, but fans should learn more soon.
