Even G2 smartglasses launch app store and AI meeting prep tool that works like a cheat code

New Even G2 smartglasses feature works like a cheat code for meetings

Even Realities, makers of the Even G2 smartglasses, has announced the impending arrival of its own app store, ready to add useful tools built by developers to the platform, along with a new AI feature which operates like a daily cheatsheet. Both are designed to make the Even G2's even more useful during everyday life. The Even Hub The app store will be called the Even Hub, and it's open to developers, creators, and users who want to make tools for use with the Even G2 smartglasses. Even Realities CEO Will Wang said: When we opened this up to developers, we saw people imagine things we hadn't thought of ourselves. That's exactly what we wanted. The Even Hub is about making sure the best ideas for what Even G2 can do don't just come from us. Tools already available include weather apps, travel assistants, breathing exercise plans, chess games, eBook readers, and apps to manage vehicle status. Apps can be viewed and installed directly from the smartglasses, making the system easy to use. Opening up development of tools for the Even G2 is an interesting move, and one that has recently worked well for the Rabbit R1, where easily shared and installed apps have helped the stalled AI gadget become far more useful and interesting. Prep Notes In addition to the Even Hub, Even Realities has announced Prep Notes, a new agentic AI feature which works like a daily cheatsheet for meetings, calls, presentations, and business-focused conversations. Let's say you've got a presentation which needs a lot of preparation, and has a lot of things to remember. After uploading all relevant documents into Prep Notes, the Even G2 will follow the conversation, so Prep Notes can summarize, suggest key points, show relevant points, fact check statements, listen for keywords in the presentation, and more. Relevant information is shown on the Even G2's screen, which is almost invisible to everyone but the wearer, helping to make sure you don't get lost or miss relevant points during a fast-moving, important situation. Even Realities has worked to make Prep Notes' interface clean and fuss-free, where information is presented without dominating your field of view. Working towards the future The goal with features like Prep Notes is to help the Even G2 get to know you, your activities, and lifestyle better. This way, the smartglasses and its AI will be able to provide more personal suggestions and assistance over time, simplifying daily life. Prep Notes will be released for the Even G2 on March 26. The Even Hub will be released in the coming weeks, but no exact date has been announced yet. The Even G2 smartglasses cost $600, are available to buy now, and take smartglasses in a different direction to products like the Ray-Ban Meta.

Even Realities' glasses are finally getting third-party app support, and 'conversate' gets an upgrade

The Even Hub is finally a reality, as the company announces its third-party app platform and a new "Prep Notes" tool to complement conversation tools. Even Realities teased the Even Hub during the release of the Even G2 smart glasses. With the improvements made to the glasses themselves, the company promised that a platform for developers would soon follow. The Even Hub allows developers to share their own apps and features through a proprietary platform. Even Realities gives a few basic examples, like ebook readers and chess, but the foundation essentially has no limits beyond what the glasses are capable of processing. There are already some cool apps coming to Even Realities' new hub, like a public transport board for commuting, and a Tamagochi-like app for pure pleasure. In our review of the Even Realities G2 glasses, we expressed some frustration with the closed-off nature of their feature set. That's sort of expected, considering the design and OS are designed to be minimal without sacrificing usefulness. The Even Hub enables expansion beyond what Even OS offers, which is exciting. The company isn't leaving improvements solely up to developers, it seems. It also announced a new "Prep Notes" feature that expands on Conversate. The tool allows users to have a one-person conversation with the glasses to sound out their thoughts prior to a meeting or conversation that would require some thinking ahead. Documents and other information can be uploaded via the app, and then recalled later for easy access. During that recorded call or conversation, the conversate tool will work in a familiar way while surfacing the information you fed it in prep. The update also addresses the app's UI. Less clutter and cleaner prompts are what Even Realities says is the goal, and the coversate section of the app should convey that going forward. The company says its AI is getting better, with an approach we can only assume is similar to Magic Cue. Even G2 will surface increasingly relevant suggestions and get noticeably better at supporting you throughout your day, much like a companion that learns about you a little more with every conversation. It's unclear what that looks like, but the company plans to release more information in the "months ahead." As for Prep Notes, expect an update starting today. Even Hub will launch starting next week.

I fed my Tamagotchi, looked like a D1 athlete and fact-checked my boss -- my time with Even G2's secret smart glasses app store

I've been obsessed with my Even Realities G2 for the past few months, mostly because they don't look like a piece of "spatial computing" hardware glued to my face. But there's a problem -- CEO Will Wang's mission is to make these the "most useful thing you will ever wear." Namely, he wants them to be an all-day "personal companion," but they're not. The feature set, while useful in saving me in clutch moments when I drift off and stop listening to my Fiancée, is limited. These become a "wear every once in a while" kind of thing that can make that $599 price tag sting. But now, Even Realities has just had its iPhone App Store moment by introducing the Even Hub. On top of that, the conversational cheat code known as Conversate just got a huge update with Prep notes. Both of these combined have turned these into the personal companion I always wanted the glasses to be. For a few days, when I was testing these new features, it all felt a bit sporadic as I got lost in the apps and couldn't figure out how to seamlessly string them all together in my day-to-day life. But then, it clicked. In just one day, I managed to: * Gaslight my boss into thinking I'm a high-functioning human being * Feed my Tamagotchi and play chess while a stranger on the bus chats some nonsense * Actually look like I have a gym routine * Genuinely multitask in a way that feels effortless So let me take you through this day where it all came together for me. 9 AM -- the productive deep work Working remotely with a multi-monitor situation can be overwhelming with multiple tasks flying at you. I'm also lucky to be in a position where I can blast music to focus. I'm starting with a blank Google Doc (this doc, actually) and feeling spaced out on ideas. Normally, I'd be wasting a few minutes skipping tracks on Spotify -- followed swiftly by the ultimate distraction of TikTok doomscrolling. Now, I have the DisplayMusicPlus plugin, which lets me use the R1 ring to skip tracks as I work and even get scrolling lyrics on my HUD if I want to sing the classics (don't judge me). As for every other service (like Slack and Gmail) desperately clamoring for my attention, that's where G2 Bridge comes in. Instead of having to flip my attention between screens so sharply, I use this to capture my voice, transcribe it accurately through Whisper AI and route what I say directly in response to whoever's trying to get my attention. All while my eyes never leave the screen. 12 PM -- the D1 athlete gym session By 12 PM, I'm walking to the gym, and confession: I have no idea what I'm doing. I've had the same routine for over a year, and there's never been any material change to my composition in any way that I do. Stuck with this, I opened up the Gym app and prompted it to generate a new lifting routine using AI. Up on the HUD, I got a step-by-step guide through all my sets and rests. I actually looked like a man with a plan, even though I have the fitness IQ of a sourdough starter. And none of this involved me getting my sweaty mitts all over my phone. Plus, nobody noticed I was wearing smart glasses -- shout-out to the subtle design for that! 2 PM -- the meeting overload Then comes the afternoon when the U.S. team clocks on. Given the time difference, this usually means I get the morning to lock in and do stuff -- followed swiftly by an avalanche of meetings. My main issue with back-to-backs is that there's usually never room to breathe and prepare for the next meeting. On top of that, there are a fair few meetings on the calendar where I come out thinking "this could've been an email" (sorry, boss). So I have two missions here: * Look like I actually prepared for the meetings I'm in * Use the meetings where nothing really happens as a chance to take a break That's where Conversate 2.0 comes in. As you know, I'm already a fan of this feature (to a point -- I don't want to replace my ability to actually listen with AI all the time), but the second iteration gives you the chance to upload prep notes. Adding quick reference points in text form and important documents for each meeting means I walk in ready. AI cues are much more accurate because of it; the real-time contextual support is faster, and the summaries feel more detailed with this combination of information. I even managed to fact-check my boss on some key details because of it! And second, in the throes of a 4 PM meeting where I hear the word "synergy" for the fourth time, I can be guilty of clocking out mentally. This is the perfect time to look like I'm paying attention while playing Even Chess, which engages my mind. Either that or I'm feeding my Tamagotchi, and nobody realizes! Opting out of reality? Is there a chance this goes too far? Absolutely. I absolutely did just stress-test it in this scenario, and you will absolutely have to find your balance in using these, because as we move from "gadgets" to "companions," it's very easy for these to become a second memory, doing the work for you. That's not the fault of Even Realities, as the CEO's mission is to make these "human-first." Self-restraint will be key here, because the more you rely on AI summaries and prep notes, you may start feeling what psychologists call digital amnesia -- where finding your first memory just feels a bit foggy. And distracting yourself extensively with games in key situations isn't going to be great for your attention span either. One thing is clear, though -- Even G2s have just had a bit of an iPhone moment, as the company opens the floodgates to truly make them "the most useful thing you will ever wear." It'll be a fun Wild West at first, while coders figure out what to make with it, and people find their right balance of how much to use it. But ultimately, this is a bit of a breakthrough for smart glasses, and something I expect you'll see the likes of Meta quickly start doing.

Even Realities G2's biggest software update yet brings an app store and a meeting prep tool that changes how you work

The G2 just got smarter, more personal, and a whole lot harder to put down. Even Realities rolled out its biggest software update since the G2 smart glasses launched, and it's an update that makes the smart glasses useful and indispensable. The big new feature is Prep Notes, a redesigned version of the company's Conversate AI feature. Before any meeting, call, or job interview, you can now upload a PDF, a document, or type in notes directly from your phone. Once the conversation starts, it surfaces relevant information on the glasses' HUD, giving you suggested responses and key facts. CEO Will Wang describes the thinking behind it: "A lot of users are asking, yeah, it's useful, but I wanted to have more context so the agent can understand me better." Recommended Videos The new upload feature lets you add context to any meeting in advance, so you're always prepared instead of scrambling through your notes at the last minute. Can your glasses replace your pre-meeting prep? The short answer is getting closer to yes. If you upload a relevant file, the AI will auto-summarize the document and display a readable version on your heads-up display. You can also create multiple Prep Notes and switch between them, which is genuinely useful if you are a salesperson cycling through different clients or pitch decks in a day. Even Realities also refreshed the display UI based on user feedback. The previous version crowded too much information on the screen. The new layout is cleaner and hides elements until you need them. What else is coming to the G2? Another major addition is the launch of Even Hub, an open app platform that lets developers build directly for the glasses. There are already around 60 apps available, ranging from chess to Tesla car management, all built by a community of roughly 2,000 developers. The company is clear about the privacy guardrails: apps are only allowed to request the minimum permissions they actually need. In the interview, David, Product Manager at Even Realities, said, "If your app is not using microphones, then we're going to bar the API from being called." I like that Even Realities is focusing on privacy and an open platform for development. With the recent reports of Meta sharing your most personal recordings for training its AI, I hope companies like Even Realities remain transparent and enforce stringent privacy guards. Prep Notes is available now in the Even Realities app. Even Hub launches next week.
