Google is attempting to re-enter the smart glasses market, with artificial intelligence-powered eyewear slated for launch in 2026. The company aims to catch up with Meta and their Ray-Ban Meta glasses by releasing audio-only glasses that support its Gemini AI assistant, as well as another design featuring a built-in lens display.

The Alphabet-owned tech giant is working with Samsung, Gentle Monster and Warby Parker on the hardware's design. It's unclear whether the audio-only or the glasses with built-in screens are launching first. The glasses will be built on top of Google's headset operating system, Android XR.

Following its announcement at Google I/O in May, Gemini Live is finally starting to widely launch its integration with Google apps, including Keep, Tasks, and Calendar. Once it starts rolling out, you should be able to create lists, tasks, or events, and inquire if you have any reminders or events.

For our device, so far, only Google Calendar is accessible via Gemini Live, allowing Gemini Live to create and check Calendar events for us. It can't launch the app for us either. Instead, it does the task in the backend, which you can later check when you open the app itself.
