Sandbar creates AI smart ring focused on note-taking. It has a microphone that can be activated using a flat, touch-sensitive panel at the top. You can hold this touch panel to record notes, chat with an AI assistant on the accompanying phone app, and access media controls like play, pause, skip tracks, and control the volume. Notes are saved to phone app that can be used on its own to take notes in case the ring is charging or has been misplaced. The startup plans to start shipping the smart ring in 2026.
