FAQ
Is Ai Pin still supported?
No. Humane service ended on February 28, 2025. The following FAQ topics describe the archived 2024 product and policies, rather than services or purchase options available today.
What shipping time did Humane quote?
The 2024 FAQ quoted shipment one to two business days after plan and account setup, followed by an emailed tracking confirmation. This is a historical fulfilment policy.
Where was Ai Pin sold and shipped?
The archived store served the United States, excluding PO boxes, military bases and US territories.
Could one account order several devices?
Each device required its own associated Humane account and a separate purchase transaction.
What return window was listed?
The November 2024 FAQ described a return request within 90 days of shipment under its then-current policy; this is not a present-day refund entitlement.
Was a paid plan required?
Yes. The historical Humane Plan provided cellular service, AI access and cloud storage; there was no supported plan-free operating mode.
What did the plan cost?
The archived manufacturer price was $24 per month, before taxes and fees. That service is discontinued.
What wireless features were included?
The historical plan included a dedicated number, US talk/text/data, international texts sent from the US, voicemail transcription, three-way calling, call waiting and caller ID. International calling and roaming were add-ons.
How was excessive roaming defined?
The archived policy could suspend or disconnect service when roaming exceeded half of data usage in any three months of a twelve-month period.
Where are the original hardware specifications recorded?
The official archived technical page documents the camera, palm projector, processor, storage, radios and sensors; the main specifications here identify that historical scope.
Could Bluetooth headphones connect?
Yes. The 2024 product supported compatible Bluetooth wireless headphones and speakers.
Could an existing phone number be transferred?
No. The archived FAQ supplied a dedicated Ai Pin number and did not offer number porting.
Was international travel supported?
The historical service offered paid international-roaming add-ons. Those options ended with the service.
How did users know the camera or microphone was active?
A Trust Light indicated active input. The archived FAQ required touch activation for camera or microphone actions.
Which music service was supported?
The archived FAQ required a TIDAL Individual trial or subscription for music playback.
Where were TIDAL promotions redeemed?
Eligible customers could find a redemption link in the TIDAL Services section of their Humane.Center account, according to the historical FAQ.
Where did AI answers obtain information?
The system combined web information with specialised data partners; weather was one listed example.
What durability was claimed?
Humane described laboratory drop, impact and environmental testing, plus splash resistance. It did not establish a numerical IP rating in this FAQ.
