Kyra founder Sahil Dhull opened pre-orders for Kyra Glasses on Sept. 10, saying the wearable will handle communications and work that users would otherwise manage on a phone. As of Sept. 11, Kyra’s reservation system listed 200 pairs, with 147 reserved and 53 available.
The reservation requires a $49 deposit, followed by a $299 remaining balance at launch. It includes two months of Kyra Pro from activation, according to the company’s pre-order page.
Dhull said in a post on X that the glasses would identify tasks that require the wearer’s attention, handle routine work and surface decisions that need judgment. In a follow-up post, he said Kyra finds open loops, filters urgent items and acts on most tasks without a prompt for a small group of early users.
The launch extends Kyra’s effort to move its software beyond the Mac. The company says its software connects apps, handles routine work and brings users decisions that need their judgment. It says glasses and a ring are planned next, with the ring intended as an optional companion for capturing thoughts and controlling Kyra.
The listed glasses hardware includes a right-lens display, bone-conduction audio in both arms, three microphones along the frame and an all-day battery that charges in a case. Kyra says the display is intended for short items, including replies to review, decisions to confirm and selected updates. Prescription support is still being finalized, and the company says it will confirm lens options before the first units ship.
Kyra says that if it has not shipped the glasses within 120 days of the reservation, it will refund everything the buyer has paid. The company says the product shown is a design preview and that final details may change during development.
Dhull said in an Aug. 27 post on X that he had raised $1.2 million backed by a16z Speedrun while building Kyra. His X profile identifies him as Kyra’s founder and a16z Speedrun 005.
Kyra said data processing for the glasses, ring and connected AI services is still being developed. It also said browsing its product demonstrations does not give it access to a user’s microphone, personal tasks, reminders or device notifications.
