Humane’s Sale to HP: What It Means for AI Pin Users in the US
What does this mean for current AI Pin users? As Humane transitions to HP, the AI Pin will lose its connectivity, impacting its functionality. Users must act quickly to save their data.
Key Changes Following Humane’s Acquisition by HP
With HP acquiring Humane’s assets, several changes are on the horizon for AI Pin users. The AI Pin will no longer connect to Humane’s servers after February 28, 2025, limiting its features significantly. Here’s what you need to know:
- AI Pin features like calling and messaging will be disabled.
- Users must download any stored data before the shutdown.

Refund and Support Information for AI Pin Customers
Humane will process refunds for AI Pins returned within the 90-day window. If you have a subscription that extends beyond February 28, 2025, a prorated refund will be issued. Customers awaiting replacement charging cases will automatically receive a refund for that portion of their purchase.
