  • First 2,000 Units Available at $199.9 Early Bird Pricing, with Reservation Access Starting at $19.9
  • LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ACTRA, a consumer brand of AI‑native startup Stavecho, today unveiled its first product, the ACTRA Mag 4G AI Pendant, as the brand's official website goes live. Alongside the launch, the company has opened an Early Bird program. The first 2,000 ACTRA Mag 4G units are available at the Early Bird price of $199.9, securing first-batch access, exclusive Early Bird benefits and a complimentary wristband. A $19.9 reservation option is also available, allowing customers to lock in Early Bird privileges and receive shipment priority based on order sequence.

    ACTRA aims to redefine how people interact with AI and bring it into everyday life. "While most AI interactions today still depend on smartphones, earbuds, smartwatches, or smart glasses, ACTRA adopts a magnetic pendant form factor worn at the chest, on a necklace, or on a wristband. Its lightweight, screen-free design is intended to reduce disruption to existing daily habits, positioning AI as something available whenever it is needed rather than confined to an app on a phone," said Haitian YIN, Founder and CEO of Stavecho.

    Building A Personal AI That Stays Present

    As the first entry point into Stavecho's personal AI ecosystem, ACTRA is designed around a continuous, always-available assistant rather than a single-purpose device. Four capabilities define the experience.

    • Always Connected over 4G. An embedded 4G eSIM allows the pendant to connect to networks independently, without relying on a phone hotspot or Wi-Fi. Users can interact with AI through natural voice across commuting, office, driving, and outdoor scenarios, lowering the operational cost of accessing AI services.
    • Long-Term Memory. By combining on-body voice sensing with connections to third-party applications, ACTRA integrates information from meetings, email, calendars, and everyday conversations. It builds a long-term memory system organized around people, projects, events, and to-dos, helping users avoid repeatedly recording notes or re-supplying context.
    • Proactive Insights. Drawing on accumulated information and contextual analysis, ACTRA identifies potential risks, conflicting information, and overlooked opportunities. It surfaces connections that span time and scenarios, offering new understanding and reference points for decisions rather than simply retrieving information.
    • Turning Intent into Action. Using AI agent capabilities that connect tools such as email, calendars, Slack, and Notion, ACTRA helps organize meeting content, extract action items, and advance follow-up tasks. It also provides proactive support for meeting preparation, task tracking, and schedule reviews, turning information into action and keeping important matters moving.

    Natural Interaction in a Lightweight Design

    The hardware has been designed to support frequent, low-friction interaction. Weighing approximately 22 grams, ACTRA features three primary interaction methods: Double Tap, Press & Hold, and the voice wake phrase "Hey Stavia."

    Enabled by its magnetic attachment design, ACTRA can be worn in multiple ways, including as a pendant, clipped discreetly to clothing, or used with a wristband. Combined with its always-accessible interaction model, these options are designed to make AI assistance available throughout the day without disrupting existing routines.

    Early Bird Reservation Program

    The Early Bird program offers permanent free access to AI Basic. The first 2000 gets free wristband. Two options are available:

    • Early Bird Full Payment ($199.9): a full purchase of ACTRA, including a six-month AI Plus and 4G data package.
    • Early Bird Reservation ($19.9): a deposit locks in the ACTRA Early Bird price of $199, including one month of AI Plus and 4G service.

    Reservations and purchases are available through actra.ai.

    About ACTRA

    ACTRA is a personal AI brand from Stavecho focused on making AI a more natural part of everyday life. Combining independent connectivity, contextual understanding, long-term memory, and AI-powered action, ACTRA seeks to move AI beyond screens and applications toward a more personal, continuously available companion. The brand's vision is a future where everyone has an AI that is truly their own.
