Ferrariz explained that the ring's form factor makes it perfect for constant access to AI agents. "You really want to have access to your agents 24/7. You don't want to have even one hour of your day where you cannot access them. And the form factor of the ring is perfect for this because it's basically an extension of you. You can go shower with it; you can sleep with it. You never take it off," Ferraris told TechCrunch

. The wearable technology allows users to handle everyday tasks through voice commands—track workouts, check daily schedules, reorder products like shampoo mid-shower, or turn off the TV before bed1
.Beyond AI agent interface capabilities, the Interface ring functions as a comprehensive health tracker. It monitors heart rate, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep stages, daily movement, step count, and skin temperature over time
1
. Battery life runs 6 to 12 days depending on usage, with a full recharge taking 100 minutes2
. Natura says manufacturing costs compare to products like the Oura Ring and Samsung Galaxy Ring because they use many of the same components1
.While the ring launches at $99, Natura plans to eventually raise the price. The company wants to get the wearable device into people's hands, build usage, and create demand before increasing costs

. After an initial three- to six-month free period, Natura will charge a $9 monthly subscription fee2
. This subscription model positions Interface as a lower-cost entry point compared to health-focused rings while adding AI capabilities.Related Stories

. Ferraris expects the ring will initially appeal to people in tech who already use personal agents, but believes most people will adopt AI agents within a year1
.Natura envisions the Interface ring eventually replacing many screen-based tasks. Ferraris believes voice requests to AI agents will handle activities that currently require computers—filling out forms, messaging in apps, finding files, and drafting presentations

. "Ultimately, the main interface between users and technology is going to be the ring," Ferraris said1
. This shift toward computing with fewer screens positions the smart ring as part of a broader movement in wearable technology, though widespread adoption depends on building "payments-grade" trust with transparent controls and clear data governance3
