Friend is an AI companion pendant — a sub-two-inch wearable with a microphone that pairs with a phone app and communicates back to the user via text messages rather than speech. Originally announced at $99, the product shipped (after delays) in 2025 at $129 in North America. Friend is a consumer hardware company with no public developer API, SDK, or partner program; only the consumer site, an app, and the Wikipedia / press coverage exist as references.
Friend is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, Wearable, Pendant, Companion, and Consumer Hardware.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/friend-com: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
