About
Taya is an AI-powered wearable necklace founded in San Francisco in 2024 by Elena Wagenmans, a Stanford-trained product designer and mechanical engineer who began her career building hardware at Apple, together with co-founders Cinnamon Sipper and Amy Zhou, who also previously worked at Apple. During onboarding, the app asks users to record a voice snippet, which it uses to prioritize the user's voice and minimize everything else. Today the company is a small team of designers and engineers in San Francisco, combining private, on-demand voice intelligence with jewelry-grade craft.
