This year’s theme, “From Platform to Applications: Powering the B2B Ecosystem for AI Smartglasses,” reflects Solos’ growing focus on enabling partners across health, lifestyle, enterprise, and accessibility to build on its open ecosystem.

“Every year at this symposium, the conversations get more concrete,” said Kenneth Fan, co-founder of Solos. “The use cases are real, the partners are building, and the hardware is ready. With V2 available today and A6 on the horizon, we’re at an inflection point for what wearable AI can do in everyday life.”

Solos AirGo™ A6: A New Category of Everyday AI Smart Wearables

Designed for those who want AI always within reach without a camera in the frame, the AirGo™ A6 builds on the foundation of the AirGo™ A5 with a refined, fashion-first form for professionals, privacy-conscious users, and anyone who wants the benefits of wearable AI in eyewear they can wear comfortably from morning to night. The A6 features hands-free access to SolosChat™, automatic power-on/off, wake-word activation, and a simplified, instant-on experience. It supports full prescription lens compatibility and is powered by an open AI platform designed to evolve with SolosAI, SolosChat, the Solos SDK, and additional AI assistants, making A6 not just a product but a wearable that grows with the technology around it.

Fashion-First, Featherlight Design: ~19g before lenses, with eyewear-grade hinge durability targets and a transparent design language built to look and wear like premium eyewear, not a gadget.AI Personal Assistant: Ask, retrieve, and get things done hands-free.Full Rx Support: Complete prescription lens compatibility for everyday, all-day wear.Open-Ear Audio: Stay connected to calls, music, and AI responses while remaining aware of your surroundings.Everyday AI Toolkit: Voice memo capture, real-time translation, calls and messaging, calendar and reminders, and personalized audio tuning via the Solos App.

“With AirGo A6, we wanted to prove that AI glasses don’t have to look or feel like AI glasses,” said Fan. “At under 19 grams with full prescription support and fashion-first design, A6 is eyewear first and AI second, built in so naturally you forget it’s there until you need it.”
