Facts, language and assets for covering BEFORE.Band.

A compact, evidence-bounded reference for journalists, reviewers, researchers and partners. Product targets are kept separate from verified results.

One-paragraph description

BEFORE.Band is a screenless, one-press transcript-delivery bracelet in development in Switzerland. It is designed to preserve selected speech as a faithful, versioned transcript that an authorized external AI agent can retrieve. BEFORE.Band ends at the transcript: the external agent—not the bracelet—owns any later summarization, extraction, reasoning or action decision.

Facts at a glance

Public name

BEFORE.Band. The wordmark displayed on the product is BEFORE.

Status

Prototype in development; no physical performance claim is treated as verified before registered-sample acceptance.

Capture model

Designed to remain inactive until a deliberate press; no wake word or always-listening mode.

Product boundary

Speech recognition, anonymous diarization, timestamps, conservative cleanup, versions and provenance—then a clean transcript.

Agent boundary

An authorized external agent can retrieve transcript text through MCP. Raw audio is never returned through MCP.

Origin

Designed in Switzerland. Product imagery shows design direction, not a final accepted device.
