What is Limitless AI?
Limitless AI, acquired by Meta in late 2025 and now closed to new customers, is a personal memory AI that captures your meetings, calls, and conversations through a combination of a desktop app (macOS, Windows) and an optional wearable pendant that hangs around your neck. The desktop app runs in the background and captures your meetings through system audio (similar to Granola), while the Pendant extends capture to in-person conversations, phone calls, and anywhere you are not sitting at a computer. The captured audio is transcribed in real time, organized into a searchable timeline called "Lifelogs," and made queryable through a chat interface where you can ask "What did Sarah say about the pricing yesterday?" or "Summarize my meetings with the engineering team this week." Limitless was founded by Dan Siroker, former head of product at Optimizely, and the company has raised significant funding to build what it calls a "personalized AI powered by what you've seen, said, and heard." Privacy is a first-class concern, the Pendant is physically visible, has a visible LED when recording, and Limitless publishes its consent model publicly. Transcription happens on the device before uploading, reducing exposure. The 2025-2026 rollout expanded Pendant availability, added team features, and launched Lifelog Chat, a conversational interface on top of your personal memory. For executives, founders, and knowledge workers drowning in meetings, Limitless aims to make "I forgot" a thing of the past.

FAQ
What is Limitless AI and who uses it?
Limitless AI, acquired by Meta in late 2025 and now closed to new customers, is a personal memory AI that captures your meetings, calls, and conversations and creates a searchable record you can query. It consists of a desktop app (free) and an optional Pendant ($99). Typical users are founders, executives, and knowledge workers who hold more meetings than they can manually track and want to never forget what was said or committed to. Early adopters skew toward productivity enthusiasts and tech professionals.
How does the Limitless Pendant work?
The Pendant is a small wearable device (about the size of a quarter) that hangs from a necklace or clips to clothing. It has always-on microphones that capture ambient audio, a visible LED that lights up when recording, and a button to pause capture when needed. Audio is sent to the Limitless app on your phone via Bluetooth, then transcribed and added to your Lifelog. Battery lasts a full day; you charge it overnight like a watch.
Is Limitless safe for privacy?
Limitless has stronger privacy guarantees than most always-on capture tools: the Pendant displays a visible LED when recording, transcription preprocessing happens on-device before uploading, consent guidelines are published publicly, and you can delete Lifelog entries at any time. That said, always-on capture raises ethical questions regardless of technical safeguards, always inform people in private conversations that you are capturing, and check local laws. Limitless provides compliance resources but responsibility is ultimately on the user.
Is the Pro subscription still sold?
No. As of December 5, 2025, Limitless no longer sells subscriptions; existing customers receive the Unlimited plan for free.
Limitless vs Granola for meeting capture?
Both capture meetings via desktop app without joining as a bot. Granola is more polished for knowledge-worker meeting workflows and has broader integration with productivity tools (Notion, HubSpot, Slack). Limitless is more ambitious as a personal memory product, it captures in-person conversations through the Pendant, offers Lifelog Chat, and builds long-term searchable memory. For meetings-only, Granola wins on polish and integrations. For full personal memory, Limitless wins on scope.
What is Lifelog Chat?
Lifelog Chat is a conversational interface on top of your personal memory, similar to ChatGPT but grounded in your own captured audio. You ask questions like 'What did Mike promise at the board meeting?' or 'Summarize my last five calls with our biggest customer' and Limitless returns answers sourced from your Lifelog transcripts. It is the feature that distinguishes Limitless from simple meeting notetakers, memory becomes queryable the way a human brain is.
