Pins, pendants, bands, and phone magnets are interesting AI form factors that are doomed to fail.
They'll fail because they can't augment your vision, which is the highest bandwidth channel to our minds. But glasses can augment vision.
And because they aren't form factors that many people wear. But glasses are worn by billions of people daily.
AI notetaking is a prime example. Glasses are the best interface because they hear what you hear, they see what you see... and because you're already wearing them.
Mentra Notes on Even Realities G2 remembers the most important parts of your conversations, so you don't have to.
Just turn it on and it will start transcribing in the background. After each conversation, Google Gemini will summarize the whole convo. You can then email the note to anyone, or export just the text. You can then send that meeting summary text anywhere or paste it into ChatGPT.

Launching Mentra Live open-source smart glasses.
Deploy smart glasses for real world work.
We already shipped thousands. Now, they're generally available.
Build apps that leave the screen. Let your AI step into the real world.
30% of the world's economy is tapping away on a keyboard or scrolling on X (like you).
AI has completely changed how they work.
Yet the other 70% of the world's economy is in the physical world, untouched by AI... until now.
Mentra Live smart glasses are how devs and businesses build apps that let AI operate in the physical world.
Powered by MentraOS, Mentra Live is an open source platform that lets you build anything you want.
The camera gives eyes to your AI. The speakers let your AI communicate back to workers in real time. Voice commands, buttons, touch pad, and mobile app let users control the system.
What will you build when your apps and agents can step into the real world?
Designers are about to stop staring at blank canvases.
@stitchbygoogle just made sure of it. 🧵
Voice iteration. AI canvas. A design agent that reasons across your whole project. DESIGN.md to carry your rules. One-click export to Figma or HTML/Tailwind.
Industrial design owned the word product first
Then the software took it over
Now, AI might be forcing a reunion
The next generation of product designers may need to think across hardware, software, and intelligence simultaneously.
Lately I have been thinking @paper + @claudeai might be one of the first real signs of what comes after the canvas
@figma still owns today
But this feels closer to where design is going
Less screen making
More intent, systems, and behavior
Pretty bullish on that. (Hot take)
Smart glasses should seamlessly integrate into everyday life.
Mentra Live gives you always available access to audio, letting you play music, take calls, and listen to podcasts anytime, anywhere.
Swipe for volume.
Slide to skip.
Tap to play/pause.
Music is just one of the apps available on Mentra MiniApp Store.

Today, we’re shipping Mentra Live smart glasses.
Cayden and the team just hand-delivered the first pairs in San Francisco.
From giving AI eyes, to livestreaming on any platform, we created MentraOS to be an open source environment that constantly evolves.
This is only the beginning.
Full video drops next week!
We built a platform where you deploy an OpenClaw agent in one click and can talk to it from your smart glasses!
