FAQs

Why is Humane discontinuing the Ai Pin?

Humane is winding down the Ai Pin as it moves onto new endeavours, with more information to be shared in the future.

When will the Ai Pin stop working?

Your Ai Pin will continue functioning normally until February 28, 2025, at 12:00 PM PST. After this time, it will no longer connect to Humane’s servers, and .Center access will be fully retired.

What will happen to the Charge Case recall?

Due to the Ai Pin service shutdown, Humane will no longer provide the replacement Charge Case as originally planned. If you previously chose to wait for a replacement instead of receiving a refund, you will automatically receive a refund for the portion of your original purchase price that was allocated to the Charge Case after February 28, 2025.

I placed an order but haven’t completed onboarding. What happens now?

If you have not completed onboarding, your order will be automatically cancelled, and you will receive a full refund.

Will I receive a refund for my Ai Pin?

Refunds are only available for customers who are still within the 90-day return window from their original shipment date. You are eligible to receive a refund if your product shipped on or after November 15, 2024. All device shipments prior to November 15, 2024, are not eligible for refunds. All refunds must be submitted by February 27, 2025.

Will my Ai Pin work with another cellular provider after the shutdown?

No. Once the service is disconnected, the Ai Pin will not work with another cellular provider.
