Moonshot

Jalapeño by Moonshot is a personal AI device. It is a small wearable that pairs with an iPhone over Bluetooth, has its own microphone and speaker, and is controlled by voice, so the phone can stay in a pocket. Moonshot describes itself as a Y Combinator company. The product is aimed at people who want an AI that listens and acts through the day. The vendor describes four jobs: building things by voice, such as turning a spoken idea into a personal artifact like a website or a cookbook; keeping track of details the user might forget; remembering the people close to the user; and talking through a thought. It can also surface proactive notes, such as a reply that arrived or a calendar change. Hardware details published on the site include an estimated battery life of about 30 hours with voice triggered audio, an estimated weight of about 13 grams, USB C charging and one tap to pause. For privacy the vendor states that the device is keyed to the iPhone Secure Enclave and iCloud Keychain, and that voice is encrypted before upload. Jalapeño is available to pre order for $99 per device, fully refundable before shipping, with delivery expected in early December 2026. The site also offers a referral that gives a friend $10 off.
