认识 Interface，这款由 AI 与硬件创业公司 Natura 推出的全新 99 美元智能戒指，专为 AI 代理时代而设计。只需轻轻一按，你就可以让 AI 代理完成任务、记录想法，并在不拿手机的情况下完成事务。虽然 AI 是 Interface 的核心，但这枚戒指同样兼具健康追踪功能，可监测心率、心率变异性（HRV）、睡眠和活动等指标。
Meet Interface, a new $99 smart ring from AI and hardware startup Natura that’s designed for the era of AI agents. With a press of your finger, you can ask an AI agent to complete a task, capture thoughts, and get things done without reaching for your phone. And while AI is at the heart of Interface, the ring also doubles as a health tracker, as it monitors metrics like heart rate, HRV, sleep, and activity.
该创业公司由 Carlo Edoardo Ferraris 创立，他此前创办了科技配件公司 Rolling Square。多年从事消费硬件研发后，他确信快速发展的 AI 需要一种全新的交互方式，让人们能够像向人询问一样向 AI 提出需求。
The startup was founded by Carlo Edoardo Ferraris, who previously founded tech accessories company Rolling Square After years of building consumer hardware, he became convinced that rapidly advancing AI needed a new kind of interface that lets people ask for what they want the way they’d ask a person. The idea behind Interface is to help people look up from their phones while getting everyday tasks done more quickly and naturally.
Interface 的理念是帮助人们在不盯着手机的情况下，更快速、自然地完成日常任务。发布时，这款戒指将可连接多种 AI 代理和应用，包括 Meta 的 Muse、Instinct、Grokbot、Claude、ChatGPT 等。预售预计将在下月开启，发货时间定于十二月或一月。
At launch, the ring will connect with a range of AI agents and apps, including Meta’s Muse, Instinct, Grokbot, Claude, ChatGPT, and more. Pre-orders are expected to open next month, with shipping slated for December or January. The smart ring was not the company’s first product.
智能戒指并非该公司的首款产品。此前他们推出了 HumanPods，这是一对具备 AI 功能的耳塞，旨在让用户与 AI 代理互动。但 Natura 认为需要一种全新的形态，以适配最新的语音技术进展。
Those were HumanPods, a pair of AI-enabled earbuds designed to let users interact with AI agents. But Natura believed it needed a new form factor built for the latest advances in voice technology. “Over time, we evolved to an understanding where you really want to have access to your agents 24/7,” Ferraris told TechCrunch in an interview.
费拉里斯在接受TechCrunch采访时表示：“随着时间的推移，我们的理念逐渐演变为：你确实希望能够全天候24小时随时联系到你的智能体。你甚至不希望一天中有哪怕一个小时无法与它们联系。而戒指的形态对此堪称完美，因为它基本上就是你身体的延伸。你可以戴着它洗澡，戴着它睡觉。你永远都不用把它摘下来。”
“You don’t want to have even one hour of your day where you cannot access them. And the form factor of the ring is perfect for this because it’s basically an extension of you. You can go shower with it; you can sleep with it. You never take it off.”
该公司表示，其应用场景可以说是无穷无尽。如果你外出跑步，可以让戒指开始记录你的锻炼情况。当你醒来时，可以询问它你一天的日程安排。如果你在洗澡时发现洗发水用完了，可以让戒指重新订购。如果你在看电视时快要睡着了，可以告诉它关闭电视并设置早上的闹钟。在用它记录了一场会议后，你可以要求它将讨论纪要发送给同事。
The company says the use cases are endless. If you’re out for a run, you could ask the ring to start tracking your workout. When you wake up, you could ask what’s on your schedule for the day. If you’re in the shower and realize you’re out of shampoo, you could ask the ring to reorder it. If you’re falling asleep while watching TV, you could tell it to turn off the TV and set an alarm for the morning. After using it to record a meeting, you could ask it to send your notes from the discussion to a coworker.
智能体的回复可以通过连接的耳机、iPhone实时活动（Live Activity）或NatureOS应用程序进行播放。
Responses from agents can be delivered through connected headphones, an iPhone Live Activity, or the NatureOS app.
此外，依赖多个AI智能体和应用程序的用户可以指定他们希望哪个智能体来处理特定的任务。例如，他们可以让Claude编写代码，让Instinct进行预订，并让Grokbot处理其他事情。
Plus, users who rely on multiple AI agents and apps can specify which one they want to handle a particular task. For example, they could ask Claude to write code, Instinct to book a reservation, and Grokbot to take care of something else.
除了控制AI智能体外，用户还可以控制包括电脑在内的各种设备。费拉里斯表示，他相信最终人们在电脑上所做的大部分事情都将通过AI智能体来完成。他认为，通过对AI智能体发出简单的语音请求，这款戒指最终将取代许多目前需要屏幕才能完成的任务，从填写表格、在应用中发消息，到查找文件和起草演示文稿。
In addition to controlling AI agents, users can control their devices, including their computers. Ferraris says he believes that, ultimately, most of the things people do on their computers will be handled through AI agents. He sees the ring eventually replacing many tasks that currently require screens, from filling out forms and messaging in apps to finding files and drafting presentations, with simple voice requests to an AI agent.
“最终，用户与技术之间的主要接口将是戒指，”Ferraris 说。“所以这不会是立竿见影的，因为即使在今天，并不是每个人都有个人助理，但我认为每个人迟早都会拥有一个。因此在第一阶段，我们预计它将面向已经拥有个人助理的人群，主要是技术行业的人。但最终，我认为在一年左右的时间里，大多数人都会拥有个人助理。”
“Ultimately, the main interface between users and technology is going to be the ring,” Ferraris said. “So it’s not going to be immediate because even today, not everybody has a personal agent, but I think everybody is bound to have one. So in this first phase, we expect it’s going to be for the people that already have a personal agent, which is mostly people in tech. But eventually, I think within a year, more or less, most people will have a personal agent.”
虽然戒指的售价为 99 美元，Natura 计划最终提高价格。目前，公司希望将设备送到用户手中，建立使用量并创造需求，然后再提价。在最初的三到六个月免费期结束后，Natura 计划收取每月 9 美元的订阅费。
Although the ring will launch at $99, Natura plans to eventually raise the price. For now, the company wants to get the device into people’s hands, build usage, and create demand before doing so. After an initial three- to six-month free period, Natura plans to charge a $9 monthly subscription fee.
公司表示，戒指的制造成本与 Oura 戒指和三星 Galaxy 戒指等产品相当，因为它们使用了许多相同的组件。然而，Natura 计划在初期将戒指定价更低，以降低进入门槛并推动采用。
The company says the ring’s manufacturing costs are comparable to those of products like the Oura Ring and Samsung Galaxy Ring because they use many of the same components. However, Natura plans to price its ring lower initially to reduce the barrier to entry and drive adoption.
在健康追踪方面，戒指可以监测心率、静息心率、心率变异性、不同的睡眠阶段、每日活动和步数以及随时间变化的皮肤温度。
As for health tracking, the ring tracks heart rate, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, different sleep stages, daily movement and step count, and skin temperature over time.
公司称，戒指在一次充满电后可使用 6 到 12 天，具体取决于使用情况，充电时间为 100 分钟。
The company says the ring can last 6 to 12 days on a full charge, depending on usage, and takes 100 minutes to fully recharge.
虽然智能戒指市场充斥着 Oura、Ultrahuman、RingConn 等公司的健康导向产品，以及 Pebble、Vocci 等公司的 AI 导向产品，但 Ferraris 认为 Interface 通过将两者结合而脱颖而出。
While the smart ring market is filled with health-focused offerings from companies like Oura, Ultrahuman, and RingConn, as well as AI-focused ones from companies like Pebble and Vocci, Ferraris believes Interface stands out by combining both worlds.
“我们即将推出的这款戒指与当今市面上的任何其他戒指都有显著不同，因为我们不仅将最高质量的健康追踪与实现智能体通信、会议录音以及外部记忆的其他组件结合在了一这类产品至关重要的超长续航能力，并且做到了非常非常小的尺寸。从硬件角度来看，这款产品本身就与现有的任何产品截然不同。”
“This ring that we’re about to launch is significantly different compared to any other ring out there today because we were able to combine not only the highest quality health tracking with the rest of the components that allow for agent communication and meeting recordings and external memory, but we were also able to do that with an incredibly long battery life, which is vital for a product like this, and in a size that is very, very small. The product itself is, from a hardware perspective, very different from anything else that’s out there.”
