Summary
$399 is Aina’s early-bird price for its new AI ring, which adds a screen, joystick, mic and speaker so users can talk to agents, take notes and handle calls from a finger-worn device.
Aina says the extra controls are meant to set it apart from rival smart rings and give AI-heavy users a better interface than phones or laptops for managing apps, reminders and agent prompts.
The ring also works as a context-aware controller for Macs and phones, supporting gestures, notifications and shortcuts for tasks such as muting Google Meet, controlling music, calling Uber or using Apple TV.
Preorders opened Thursday, shipping is planned for January 2027, and the price rises to $499 after the early-bird window as Aina pushes beyond its earlier Mirage three-key controller.
