Wearable AI pendant that captures and transcribes in-person conversations.
Best for knowledge workers who want every spoken conversation captured for later recall — in-person plus on-screen meetings. Pricing: hardware $99 + from $19/mo.
What it is
Limitless is the AI personalized intelligence product from the team formerly known as Rewind. It pairs a wearable pendant with a desktop app to capture conversations in person and on-screen. Audio is transcribed and indexed in a private personal knowledge base that the user can query in natural language. The pendant launched in 2024 with a consent-LED that flashes when recording, and Limitless ships a per-speaker consent mode that requires verbal opt-in before storing audio for non-wearers. Free tier covers limited transcription minutes.
Watch out for: Hardware pendant is opt-in for the wearer only; consent UX for the other party is on the wearer; battery/storage are real constraints.

The automation recipes on this site show it wired to Drive folders, Zoom recordings, S3 buckets and no-code platforms.
How is Whipscribe different from Limitless?
Limitless is another vendor's product; Whipscribe is a per-minute transcription service. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training, and every job returns five formats plus an AI summary, quotes and topics. The first 20 minutes of any recording are transcribed free, and a pack from $6 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export.
What does transcription cost if I use Whipscribe instead of Limitless?
$0.012 a minute — about $0.72 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum: a 3-hour recording is about $2.16, a thousand-hour archive is about $720 once. The first 20 minutes of any recording are transcribed free, and a pack from $6 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export, so you can see what your recording holds before paying anything.
Where is the Limitless category heading?
Three things are moving across the whole speech-to-text market right now: summaries, action items and speaker insights generated on top of the transcript rather than sold separately; private, secured deployment where the audio never leaves a boundary you control; and agent access — transcription exposed as a tool that Claude, Cursor or a workflow runner can call directly. Whipscribe ships all three today: per-job insights, our own servers, and an MCP server.
Whipscribe is a hosted transcription service. If you want transcripts without running infrastructure, paste a URL or drop a file in the form below — you'll have a transcript in seconds.
