Smart rings are popular ways to track our health and wellness, but what if your ring could also record your work meetings?
The ring from Vocci AI, which I saw at CES 2026, looks like any other smart ring, but it’s designed to integrate with your professional life rather than your personal one. Notably, the Vocci ring isn’t an always-listening, omnipresent device; recording starts only when you manually press a small button on the side of the ring. Once recording begins, it captures the meeting and generates a transcript when it’s over.
If you want to revisit an important moment in a meeting, you can tap the button on the side of the ring. Vocci will flag that section in the transcript in red and provide AI-generated insights based on those notes. It supports more than 100 languages.
Vocci AI rings are made with aerospace-grade titanium.
The ring itself is 2.8mm thick and 6.8mm wide, giving it a look similar to a typical smart ring — such as those made by Oura — but with physical buttons built in.

The ring can capture approximately 8 hours of recording time. Plus, since it’s only designed to be used during working hours, you can charge it overnight without worrying you’ll miss out on important data, as you might with wellness-oriented smart rings.
We’ve seen a lot of AI-powered devices here at CES, from AI toys to pins and working companions. These physical devices are one version of the next step in the evolution of AI; we’ve already seen AI heavily integrated in our phones, laptops and creative software.
These standalone devices aren’t entirely new — the Rabbit R1 and Friend AI pendant made waves with their initial releases in previous years. But improvements in AI software could make these tangible tokens of AI more useful, especially when they’re tailored to meet specific needs.
Recordings captured by the Vocci rings are saved to the cloud, so you may not want to wear the ring when you’re discussing sensitive content. The rings will be available for preorder in February, with the first batch expected to ship in April.
