Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the developer & manufacturer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Lucyd Armor®, Reebok®, Eddie Bauer®, and Nautica® brands, is pleased to announce that it has developed a new Claude AI integration for its smart eyewear products, launching next week for all models of Lucyd glasses.

The new integration provides fast, free access to the powerful Claude AI from Lucyd smart glasses via the Lucyd app. In the first version launching next week, the user activates the functionality by opening the Lucyd app, then chooses their preferred Claude model, and converses with it using the audio interface on Lucyd glasses.

Some key features of the update:

• Multiple AI models in one place — chat with the best of OpenAI (ChatGPT) and Claude from a single screen.
  
  
• Switch models mid-conversation — move from ChatGPT to Claude without losing context; the conversation continues seamlessly.
  
  
• Understands your images and documents — upload a photo or a PDF and ask anything; the AI analyzes the content and responds.
  
  
• AI image generation — create images from a simple prompt and save them straight to your photo library with a single tap.
  
  
• Incognito Mode — private, ephemeral conversations that are never saved; when you leave, they're automatically wiped from the server.
  
  
• Conversation history — pick up any past chat right where you left off, organized by date.
  
  
• Rich content rendering — displays code with syntax highlighting, math formulas, tables, and formatted text, all natively.
  
  
• Answers with sources — when the AI pulls from the web, it shows its sources so you can verify the information.
  
  
• Real-time streaming responses — text appears word by word as the AI responds, for a fluid, immediate experience.

In a future update, anticipated to launch in late Q3 2026, users will be able to query Claude with the phone locked and in their pocket. This is similar to the Company's groundbreaking hands-free ChatGPT integration, which was the first hands-free voice interface for the world's largest LLM.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear said, "This is an important step forward in our mission to make the most flexible and powerful AI glasses on the market. We have a pending patent on multi-AI access glasses, and we are bringing this incredible functionality to all our customers at no additional cost. We envision that in the future, the Lucyd user can access several of the world's most powerful AI models with a simple voice command, through its designer, lightweight, smart eyewear. We believe that this is the most practical way to expand human abilities through wearables. We look forward to continuing to Upgrade Your Eyewear^® with useful smart features that make you more aware, knowledgeable, and more easily connected to the people and systems you care about."
