Mentra

Mentra makes AI smart glasses and software for frontline workers such as technicians, inspectors and drivers. Its main device, Mentra Live, puts a camera, microphone and speakers on the wearer's head so that AI can see and hear the job, guide each step by audio, connect the worker to a remote expert, and document the work while it happens. Mentra Call provides hands free point of view video calling, and organizations can use their own Microsoft Teams account. Photos and speech are turned into structured documentation with photo evidence. The company positions the offering around sovereign AI: customers can choose their own models, including fully air gapped deployments, run workloads on premises or in their own cloud, and keep video, audio and workflow data in systems they control. Private software can be distributed to a workforce without a consumer app store. The glasses run MentraOS, an open source operating system with an open SDK, and the site cites a developer community. Mentra Live costs $449 and lists a 43 gram frame, a 119 degree 1080p camera, three microphones, stereo speakers, 8 hours or more of mixed use and a 2,200 mAh charging case. It works with iOS 15.1 and Android 12 or later. An order includes one free month of Mentra Call, and the price after that month is not shown. Larger deployments are arranged through sales.
