After mixed reviews, Humane AI Pin Maker is considering selling its smart pin device designed to replace phones with an interactive AI interface on a person's shirt. With its underwhelming performance and lackluster reception, the company seeks investors or buyers amidst valuation of $850 million from two years prior. Founded by ex-Apple employees aiming to rival smartphones, Humane faces competition such as Rabbit R but struggles with user experience in practical scenarios like answering questions about Barcelona attractions.

Device Concept: Smart AI Pin designed for easy accessibility of phone services through a shirt-mounted interface.
Reviews and Performance: Negative reviews citing slow responses and difficulty in practical use, such as retrieving information on local attractions.
Business Moves: Exploring a potential sale or investment deal post-unsuccessful product reception.
Founders' Background: Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, with previous work experience at Apple.
Market Competition: Competing devices like the Rabbit R which also received lukewarm responses from users.
