I built a way to talk to my self-hosted AI agent through my smart glasses — just submitted it for review
For the last few days I've been tinkering on a side project and figured this crowd might actually find it interesting.
I run a self-hosted Hermes agent (Nous Research) on my own server, and I wanted to actually *use* it hands-free instead of always pulling out my phone. I also have a pair of Even Realities G2 smart glasses, so I built a little app that connects the two.
The idea: I tap the touchpad on the glasses or ring, speak, and my words go through live speech-to-text straight to my own agent. The answer streams back onto the glasses display — and I can watch it think, see which tools it's running (web search, code, memory, etc.), and approve anything sensitive right from the glasses with a swipe. The phone stays in my pocket.
A few bits I'm kind of happy with:
Fire-and-forget: I can start a longer task, double-tap back out, and let it finish in the background while I do something else. The session list marks which runs are still going, waiting for approval, done, or failed — and re-attaches to the live stream when I open one back up.
Opening a session shows the last chunk of the conversation, which is basically the agent's own context window.
Speech-to-text isn't locked to one vendor: it supports a handful of providers (Deepgram, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Gladia, Soniox, Speechmatics, Rev AI) or your own STT server if you'd rather keep that part local too.
Everything lives on the device — you point it at your own gateway with your own keys. Nothing routes through me.
It's very much a self-hoster / tinkerer thing right now: you need your own Hermes gateway running, and there's a small CORS patch for the agent because its streaming endpoint doesn't send the headers a WebView needs.
Status: I just submitted it to the Even Hub (their app store) and it's in review now. I honestly have no idea how long that takes on such a small platform, so I'm mostly just curious how it goes — I'll report back once I hear something.
Happy to answer questions about how it's built. It's a WebView app on their SDK, a 576x288 green display with a single font, so a surprising amount of the work was pixel-measuring text to get the layout and scrolling right. Curious if anyone else here is doing agent stuff on wearables.
