Even Realities has announced a major software update for its G2 smart glasses, adding a personal Knowledge Base and an upgraded AI assistant. It arrives alongside a new frame colour, as the company keeps pushing the glasses towards professional use [1][2].
What is new in version 2.4.0
The update, version 2.4.0, overhauls Conversate, the feature that records and works with conversations, with a "Pro Mode" that pulls from the new Knowledge Base [1]. The Knowledge Base remembers the information you select. Files and audio recorded in Conversate mode, along with any manually uploaded files, sync to a secure Google Cloud Platform server in the EU [1].
Users can choose up to 10 Conversate records to upload during initial setup, and more can be added as they are recorded [1]. New sessions need to be selected for upload and are not added automatically unless the user switches on automated uploads [1]. Even AI 2.0 and active Conversate sessions then draw context from the Knowledge Base [1]. 9to5Google's example is a sports journalist whose backlog of recorded meetings gives new sessions useful context [1].
Even AI 2.0
The update also upgrades the assistant to Even AI 2.0, which Even Realities calls a major upgrade [1]. In practice the changes are about ease of use. Users can now start Even AI by holding the touch sensor, which records until release, and can switch on multi-turn conversations so follow-up questions do not need a fresh wake word [1]. Opening Even Hub apps and changing certain settings are now possible from within the AI chat [1].
Knowledge Base and Conversate Pro Mode launch in beta, with a monthly usage allowance, and the company has not said what pricing will follow after the beta [1].
New colour and accessories
Separately, Even Realities has released a colourway called Even Brown 2, which Engadget says is the same hardware as the standard G2 but slightly lighter [2]. Each frame is described as individually shaped, pressed, tumbled and polished for 20 hours, so no two should look identical, and it comes in rounded and square styles [2]. The glasses cost $649, a clip that adds sunglasses is $149 and a neck chain is $79 [2]. 9to5Google also mentions a new tortoiseshell colour option [1].
Engadget's earlier verdict was that the G2's display and features, including live translation, notifications and a teleprompter, were strong, but the controls felt clunky, particularly with a smart ring [2]. It notes that recent updates have added gestures and more refined on-glasses controls, and that the glasses can now keep an eye on AI coding agents as they work [2].
Why it matters
Smart glasses that remember what you choose to tell them, rather than guessing what is relevant, are a more cautious take on wearable AI. For professionals who sit in many meetings, a searchable personal record could save time, but the EU cloud sync means businesses should check their own policies before recording client conversations.
