We have seen Nothing slowly seep AI into all of its products across categories. From the Essential Key on smartphones to ChatGPT integration within wearables, the brand has been gradually moving towards an AI-driven consumer tech experience.
The brand has already shipped over a million devices and crossed $1 billion in cumulative sales in early 2025. So, it is no surprise that the brand adoption rate of Nothing is on the upward side. So, it gives Pei a ripe opportunity to lead the AI tech space with both software and hardware innovations at the helm.
