A start-up founded by two former Harvard students to launch ‘always on’ AI smart glasses that listen and record every conversation

Halo X are the glasses that give you superhuman intelligence. It hears what you hear and automatically feeds you insights on the display to make you 10x smarter. You don’t just think faster – you’re superintelligent. Halo helps you instantly ask and answer questions, recall things you forgot, fact check, and do research. On the go.

Two former Harvard students are launching a pair of “always-on” AI-powered smart glasses that listen to, record, and transcribe every conversation and then display relevant information to the wearer in real time. 

“Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,” said AnhPhu Nguyen, co-founder of Halo, a startup that’s developing the technology. 

Or, as his co-founder Caine Ardayfio put it, the glasses “give you infinite memory.” 

“The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch, referring to the startup that claims to help users “cheat” on everything from job interviews to school exams.  

“If somebody says a complex word or asks you a question, like, ‘What’s 37 to the third power?’ or something like that, then it’ll pop up on the glasses,” Ardayfio added. 

Ardayfio and Nguyen have raised $1 million to develop the glasses, led by Pillar VC, with support from Soma Capital, Village Global, and Morningside Venture. The glasses will be priced at $249 and will be available for preorder starting Wednesday. Ardayfio called the glasses “the first real step towards vibe thinking.”
