Solos is equipping its smart glasses with an AI for the blind and low-vision community
Solos says the specs can perform a number of tasks that should make life easier for the low-vision community, including recognizing and reading text in real time, describing scenes, recognizing faces and more.
Just by speaking, users can ask the glasses to scan documents or photos for context, answer questions, check calendars and converse naturally about just about anything. The companies say that Ally remembers context across conversations.
Solos says that the innovative nature of the glasses should make them useful for lots of folks, low-vision or not. This includes the elderly, people with cognitive disabilities and "anyone overwhelmed by modern devices but curious about what AI can do."
The Ally-equipped AirGo glasses support prescription lenses, which is great, and include a directional speaker system. These smart glasses also include a modular component, as users can swap out different frame fronts to change up the look.
Preorders are open right now, with shipments beginning in October. Prices start at $399. All purchases come with a free trial for Ally Pro , which adds more customization and functionality to the AI.

Solos is equipping its smart glasses with an AI for the blind and low-vision community
Solos is teaming up with Envision, a company that makes assistive technology for the blind and low-vision community, to add an AI called Ally to its AirGo smart glasses platform. This chatbot was designed for those with vision issues. The companies say this integration creates a "first-of-its-kind, hands-free, voice-activated wearable."

These smart glasses use AI to help low-vision users
Accessibility-focused tech provider Envision has partnered with eyewear company Solos to launch new smart glasses specifically designed for blind and low-vision users. Envision says the camera-equipped Ally Solos Glasses can read and translate text, describe surroundings, search the web, and recognize people, objects, and signs, feeding information to the user via open-ear speakers built into the ear stems. The Ally Solos Glasses are available to pre-order today for $399, which Envision says is a 'special launch pricing' that's discounted from $699. The frames come in two sizes — regular or large — and a choice of black, gray, and brown color options. Shipping for pre-orders is expected sometime in October 2025. They're built on the existing AirGo Vision glasses that Solos launched in December, which provide their own vision recognition features via OpenAI's GPT-4o AI model. Envision's version replaces GPT-4o with Envision's 'Ally' AI assistant, which is powered by a combination of foundation AI models, including Meta's Llama, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Perplexity, according to the Ally website. The AI features work by connecting to the Ally iOS or Android app via Bluetooth. The glasses themselves have a strong IP67 rating for protection from dust and water, and USB-C chargeable ear stems that provide 'up to 16 hours of active use' on a single charge, according to the pre-order listing. It takes around 90 minutes to fully charge the ear stems, with 15 minutes of fast-charging providing around three hours of battery life. Accessibility features are already an established benefit on other smart glasses. Envision has previously released assistive eyewear built on the now-defunct Google Glass hardware, for example, and AI vision interpretation features provided by the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses have already been embraced by the low-vision community. It's unclear how the Ally Solos Glasses' capabilities will compare to more affordable rivals, given $699 is considerably pricier than the $299 AirGo Vision and Ray-Ban Meta.

'Intelligence Engine': Microsoft Stock (NASDAQ:MSFT) Notches Up on Sea Change
Tech giant Microsoft (MSFT) is going through a lot of change right now, and that change has been manifested in a range of ways. Mass layoffs, increasing return-to-office (RTO) mandates and more are part of the package at Microsoft these days. But behind it all is a greater move, as expressed by CEO Satya Nadella, as Microsoft goes from 'software manufacturer' to 'intelligence engine.' Call it what you will, but investors called it a decent idea, sending shares up fractionally in Monday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Nadella is out to turn Microsoft into an ' intelligence engine,' looking to open up access to artificial intelligence and make it available to users the world over. A memo recently spotted noted, 'We must reimagine our mission for a new era. When Bill founded Microsoft, he envisioned not just a software company, but a software factory, unconstrained by any single product or category. That idea has guided us for decades. But today, it's no longer enough.' Thus, Microsoft is working to start selling shovels in a gold rush. Instead of trying to build AI apps, it is trying to build the platforms that let other people build AI apps according to their needs. This makes Microsoft less a 'software factory' and more an 'intelligence engine' in line with Nadella's goals. The implications are potentially staggering; if Microsoft can develop a means to allow people to build the AI applications they want, then Microsoft could have an edge over every other AI developer in the field. Ally Release Dates Leaked But Microsoft has more immediate concerns as well, as release date information broke cover on the ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X. Reports suggest that Microsoft and ASUS' (ASUUY) new portable handset gaming platforms will be available sometime in October 2025, with preorders potentially starting as early as next Wednesday with the Gamescom event. Microsoft previously noted that the release window was 'holiday 2025,' which could indeed include October. Pricing details may also come out during next week's Gamescom event, reports suggest, though Microsoft has not officially confirmed or denied any of this. Still, with the holiday shopping season quickly approaching—Halloween decorations are all over stores—we may see more information come out sooner rather than later. Is Microsoft a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on MSFT stock based on 34 Buys and one Hold assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 28.33% rally in its share price over the past year, the average MSFT price target of $623.34 per share implies 18.53% upside potential.
