Glasses of the future

This newsletter was brought to you byVanta

Screens on your face

gm legends, happy Thursday.

Here’s today’s lineup: Meta Ray-Ban Display adds an actual screen to its smart glasses so you can see directions, prompts, or updates without pulling out your phone; Sudo gives you one API to route across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and more so you’re never locked to one model; Thirty Calendar lets you boss your schedule around by chatting with it instead of dragging boxes around.

P.S. Building something new? Tell us about it → editorial@producthunt.co 🫶

Glasses That Talk Back

Meta Ray-Ban Display is the latest spin on smart glasses. You still get the Ray-Ban frames, but now with an actual display so you can see prompts, directions, or updates without fishing out your phone. They pair with Meta’s AI assistant to overlay info while keeping your hands free.

🔥 Our Take: Remember when “smart glasses” meant looking like a cyborg with Google Glass? These at least look normal, but they’ll still talk to you in public. Cool upgrade for navigation or quick answers, but also a fast track to ignoring your friends even harder.

One Key to Rule Them All

Sudo offers one API that routes your model calls through whichever large model you want, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, etc. It also builds in context tracking, lets you handle billing for users (or subscriptions), and promises you never get locked in behind a single provider.

🔥 Our Take: The scramble of keeping up with model performance, managing context memory, and trying not to overpay is the part nobody brags about. Sudo feels like someone finally wrote a stopwatch, ledger, and router in one tool so you don’t have to juggle all that yourself.

Calendar You Can Talk To

Thirty is a calendar that answers back. You can ask what’s on today, move things around with a message instead of dragging boxes, and get a quick read on your week without scrolling through tiny grids. It’s meant to feel less like juggling slots on a spreadsheet and more like having a conversation with your schedule.

🔥 Our Take: Most calendars are just guilt machines reminding you what you haven’t done. Thirty at least makes it easier to boss your schedule around. It’s not magic, but if you’re the type who lives by rescheduling, this is one way to stop fighting your own planner.

FROM THE FORUMS

When Your Assistant Won’t Shut Up

You might have seen Poke, the proactive message-based assistant, floating around the web. Well, Gabe Perez tried it out for a week. His verdict: it’s got promise. The daily digests, email filtering, and even meal plans felt genuinely useful when they worked, and the tone was personal enough to not feel robotic.

But there are rough edges. The onboarding makes you get through a “bouncer” that roasts you before letting you in, some integrations lag, and the pricing is all over the place depending on when you signed up.
