Talking to My Pendant: A Personal Journey with Limitless AI
As someone who constantly ingests information and promptly forgets most of it, I've been on a quest for the perfect memory aid. My journey started with Rewind, which helped me capture and recall digital moments. But when I discovered the Limitless pendant, something clicked – or rather, something I could actually talk to.
From Digital to Wearable Memory
The transition from Rewind to Limitless felt natural. While Rewind excelled at capturing my digital life, the Limitless pendant goes everywhere with me. It's become my constant companion, capturing conversations, thoughts, and those random moments that would otherwise slip through the cracks of my overloaded brain.
The Amusing Side of AI Memory
One of the unexpected joys of using Limitless has been discovering the sometimes hilarious ways AI interprets conversations. These moments of technological comedy have become conversation starters themselves. But beyond the entertainment value, the pendant has proven its worth in more meaningful ways.
Like that time it saved me from a family disaster by reminding me about the zoo trip with my nephew. Without that gentle nudge from my AI companion, I would have been the disappointing uncle who forgot. Instead, we had an amazing day looking at elephants and eating overpriced ice cream.
Yes, I Talk to My Jewelry
I'll admit it – I've become that person who talks to their pendant. My friends tease me about it, and yes, it probably looks a bit odd to outsiders. But here's the thing: I love it. There's something liberating about being able to verbalize thoughts and know they're being captured for later. It's like having a conversation with my future self.
The social aspect is interesting too. While some people find it quirky, it often becomes a conversation starter. "Are you talking to your necklace?" quickly turns into fascinating discussions about memory, technology, and how we're augmenting our human capabilities.
Building on the Foundation: BranchThink.ai
My experience with Limitless has actually inspired me to build something that extends its capabilities. I'm developing BranchThink.ai, an app that takes your daily conversations captured by devices like Limitless and transforms them into actionable decision trees.
Here's how it works: When you're having a brainstorming session (and yes, I often talk these through with my pendant), you can use keywords like "brainstorm," "lateral thinking," and an end keyword to mark these creative moments. BranchThink then:
- Identifies these starred moments and brainstorming sessions
- Transforms your stream-of-consciousness ideas into visual decision trees
- Makes each node interactive – you can chat with individual branches to explore ideas deeper
- Enables sharing and collaboration, turning solo brainstorms into team innovations
It's the perfect companion to Limitless. While the pendant captures everything, BranchThink helps you extract and structure the creative gold hidden in your daily conversations.

Room for Growth
Beyond my own app development, I'd love to see Limitless add native features like a todo list. Imagine if this memory-capturing device could also help organize the tasks that emerge from our conversations and thoughts. The integration possibilities are endless – which is exactly why I'm building tools to extend what's already possible.
The Ultimate Endorsement
When people ask if I'd recommend the Limitless pendant, I have a simple answer: I already bought two for my parents. There's no stronger endorsement than wanting the people you care about most to have the same memory superpowers you've discovered.
For my parents, who sometimes struggle with smartphone apps and complex interfaces, the pendant's simplicity is perfect. They can just wear it and talk to it – no screens, no typing, just natural interaction.
Who Should Consider Limitless?
Based on my experience, the Limitless pendant is perfect for:
- Information overwhelmed professionals who need to remember details from multiple meetings
- Parents juggling family schedules and important moments
- Anyone who values their conversations and wants to preserve insights
- People comfortable with looking a little quirky in exchange for never forgetting important moments
- Those who've tried digital solutions but want something more integrated into daily life
Final Thoughts
The Limitless pendant has become more than just a gadget – it's a companion that ensures my memories, both profound and amusing, don't get lost in the chaos of daily life. Yes, I talk to my pendant, and yes, people sometimes give me odd looks. But when it helps me remember everything from zoo trips to brilliant ideas that strike during my morning walk, those looks are a small price to pay.
In a world where we're constantly bombarded with information, having a wearable AI that acts as an extension of our memory isn't just convenient – it's becoming essential. And if that means having conversations with my jewelry, so be it. At least I'll remember them.
