VOCCI (by Gyges Labs) is trying to make “capture mode” frictionless: a titanium smart ring that records conversations and turns them into searchable AI notes. Instead of pulling out a phone or opening a laptop, you double-click the ring’s button to start audio capture, then wear it like any other piece of jewelry — 3–5 g, designed for all-day use, with a charging case for top-ups.

What stands out is the interaction model: tap while recording to “highlight” a moment that matters, so the summary doesn’t treat every sentence as equal. Audio can stay on the ring until you sync to the companion app, where speech-to-text transcription feeds an AI agent that produces meeting notes, decisions, and action-style recaps, with prompts you can customize for your own reporting format.
From a systems perspective, Vocci is closer to a wearable voice recorder than a health ring: it targets roughly 8 hours of continuous recording and advertises an effective pickup range around 5 meters, aimed at classrooms or conference rooms. The interview was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, and the focus is on capturing natural dialogue without needing your phone in hand, then letting the phone do the heavier AI processing later.
Design details matter for a device you’ll actually keep on: aerospace-grade titanium for durability and skin tolerance, multiple sizes, and color options that should ship with the same base material. The team describes itself as California-based, and pricing wasn’t final in the demo, though early coverage suggests it may land under the $200 mark, positioning it against dedicated recorders and other “memory” wearables without forcing a bulky gadget vibe.
The bigger idea is selective recall: the ring becomes a physical “bookmark” for your brain, with highlight taps acting like labels for decisions, names, or sparks of insight. VOCCI says it plans to launch around mid-February, with broader shipping later in 2026, so the real test will be transcript quality in noisy spaces and how well the AI stays faithful to context when you need the note to be ready.
