Looki, a pioneering AI wearables company announced a major upgrade to the Looki L1 which evolves from reactive AI to true proactive, scene-adaptive intelligence, ahead of its first consumer show appearance at CES 2026. Combining multimodal sensing with real-time intelligence, the Looki L1 aims to define an entire category of proactive wearables that doesn’t wait for user commands, but sees, hears, understands and augments your life proactively. Looki’s scene-adaptive intelligence detects what you are doing in real-time and instantly connects users to an endless world of knowledge adding more to their moments and lives. Designed to be worn, held, or aimed, L1 captures life’s moments proactively and with the power of learned context, so get ready to change how you remember everything.
“AI in wearables have long been reactive – triggered by a button, demand, or a forgotten to-do,” said Looki Founder and CEO Yang Sun. “We decided to build something different. Looki L1 sees and hears what’s around you, understands the context, anticipates what you might need next – and delivers it proactively,” he added.
The Looki L1 is a compact, ultra-light wearable with a battery that delivers up to 12 hours in Story Mode, plus high resolution photos & video, song with 32GB of onboard storage in a glass-mounted water-proof form factor designed for all-day wearable comfort. Looki L1 isn’t just a vlog tool for looking good, it’s the visual nerve of an AI companion built to understand users’ lives in a meaningful way and deeply interact with those lives harnessing the power of AI. L1 perceives light, motion, sound, and behaviour. It identifies patterns, mood, and context. Crucially, it doesn’t just record life, it understands and enriches it providing a solid platform for the human-AI interface. Built with privacy at its core, Looki L1 processes sensitive data securely on-device and gives users full control over what is stored, shared, or deleted.
The Looki L1 is ideal for individuals who move quickly through different environments like creators, professionals, travellers, and active everyday users who will benefit from a device that anticipates their needs rather than waits for commands. By interpreting context in real time, L1 helps users stay present, capture the right moments effortlessly, and receive timely insights that elevate productivity, awareness, and storytelling. Take your memories to the next level by automating your vlogging, remember more with voice promoted recall, or share more with a daily AI powered recap.
Designed to fit into various environments L1 and uses scene-adaptive intelligence to automatically switch between three main modes. Each mode is built around a distinct user-need, based on what L1 senses in real time, and includes one mode just for CES style environments.
Expo mode – for events, travel, networking. Automatically captures environmental context, recognises people and interactions, surfaces daily insights, and recommends what to revisit or follow up on.
Fitness mode – detects activities, tracks motion and rhythm, delivers automatic health and performance summaries, and issues real-time cues to optimise your workout or activity.
Everyday life mode – observes your routines, focus patterns, lifestyle habits – then delivers personalised suggestions to help you live smarter, with better balance, awareness, and presence.
Priced at $199, it’s designed for all-day comfort while delivering high-quality capture and proactive intelligence in a discreet, everyday form factor. Designed to be an AI you can hold, the Looki L1 represents the first wearable for life’s flow, constantly observing, interpreting, remembering, and anticipating. Powered by always-on sensing, it knows what situation you are in, and its critical adjustments make sure you capture the right moments, for perfect storytelling later.
