When AI glasses could be a worthy headphones replacement

While promotional materials tend to show people having complete conversations with their AI assistant, asking it for company quarterlies and stock market updates, normal everyday use is usually a lot more mundane and a lot more useful. Having the AI voice automatically read incoming messages and reminders is incredibly helpful, especially if you are trying to limit the number of times you grab your phone to read a message, only to find yourself doomscrolling several minutes later. And yes, any pair of headphones or earbuds can do the same when combined with Siri or Google Gemini, but that only works if you happen to be wearing your headphones at the moment the message arrives. Smart glasses, on the other hand, are on you at all times, waiting patiently to alert you the second a message arrives. Which brings us to one of the main things AI glasses do better than any headphones, which is phone calls.
