Looki has launched its new AI-powered wearable, the Looki L1, in the Chinese market. The device was introduced to global markets earlier this year. The company describes it as an ‘AI life manager’ designed to passively record everyday moments and automatically generate vlogs. It is priced at 1,499 yuan ($212) in China.

Looki L1 Specifications

The launch comes at a time when interest in AI-first hardware is growing, especially following reports about OpenAI’s upcoming hardware project. While details about OpenAI’s device remain limited, the Looki L1 gives an early look at what this new category of AI wearables could resemble. The product focuses on hands-free, always-on recording paired with AI-driven content organization, an approach that aligns closely with recent discussions around future AI companions.

According to Looki, the L1 automatically records daily life while prioritizing user privacy. All data is stored locally by default, and content is uploaded to the cloud only after the user grants permission. The device supports AI-generated vlogs, AI-powered smart search, and so-called personal life insights through Looki AI, which aim to help users better understand patterns in their daily routines over time.

In terms of design, the Looki L1 is compact and lightweight. It measures 50.53 × 16.84 × 48.02 mm and weighs just 32 grams, making it suitable for long hours of wear. Looki uses soft, skin-friendly materials to improve comfort and reduce fatigue during all-day use. The device also carries an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, allowing it to handle daily outdoor conditions. It is available in black, white, and green color options.

Looki has equipped the device with a wide-angle camera featuring a 16mm-equivalent lens with an f/2.2 aperture and a 109-degree field of view. It supports 4K photo capture and 1080p video recording at 30 frames per second. The camera includes electronic image stabilization and HDR capabilities to handle varying lighting conditions.

The device features a triple-microphone array with intelligent noise reduction, which helps improve voice clarity and capture ambient sound more accurately. It also includes a 1W built-in speaker paired with a Smart PA system for voice feedback and AI-driven audio interactions.

In terms of storage and connectivity, the Looki L1 features 32GB of internal storage and saves data locally by default. It supports Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), and includes a six-axis gyroscope for motion sensing and scene detection.

The device runs on a 375mAh battery that charges fully in about 1.5 hours. Battery performance varies based on the recording mode. Looki claims up to 9 hours of use when recording 5 seconds per minute, 11 hours for 9 seconds every two minutes, and 13 hours for 11 seconds every three minutes.

In related news, Leica has recently introduced the Q3 Monochrom, a new 60MP black-and-white compact camera, and also announced the SL3 Reporter, a full-frame camera that supports 8K video, features in-body image stabilization, and uses an aramid fiber build.
