Terminal Mode by Even Realities - Keep coding agents always in sight

Terminal Mode by Even Realities unlocks an ambient terminal on Even G2 smart glasses. When a coding agent stalls, you catch it: see which agent needs you now, give direction, and approve key steps while your laptop runs long tasks, so token-maxers get more from every run and vibe coders stay in flow.

Can I write code on my eyes? Hahahaha

You instruct & interact with the agents that write the code in your glasses (which is arguably the more efficient way :D).

This is one of those products that makes you rethink what "working with AI agents" should actually look like. Instead of being glued to a screen waiting for outputs, you can supervise work while living your life. Really fascinating direction for human-AI collaboration. 👏

Cannot agree more. The principle that inspires us is "let agents work & let humans live".

The voice experience is what I'm most curious about. How well does it work in places with a lot of background noise?

Alston Zhuang

@lesley_liu2 

Great question. We designed voice in Terminal Mode as push-to-talk, not always-on dictation.

You tap and hold when you want to send a short instruction, so the audio window is intentional and brief. In normal street / cafe noise, short commands are the sweet spot.

Smart glasses have been looking for a killer use case for years. 'Ambient supervisor for AI agents' is interesting because it targets a workflow that's actively growing, not a general consumer behavior

@hong_han 

nice spot, thanks!

Terminal Mode is the first feature that makes me feel like I've been underusing the hardware I already own. That's the best thing a software update can do.

@wangyongyiuny 

Glad to hear that!

That's the beauty of software - the potential is limitless (sort of).

I noticed the connection stability improvements in the latest release. What was causing the issue before?

David Y.

@isla_wei 

In short, a plethora of issues. But I am glad to hear that it works better now!

What might seem like a simple disconnect to our end users derives from many small root causes that augment each other. We are aware & working around the clock in attempts to discovering more issues.

I've talked to developers who basically set a timer and walk away from their agent runs, then come back and see what happened. That works until the agent hits a decision point halfway through and spins for an hour. Live visibility changes that risk calculation entirely.

i‘ve been there several months ago. But now we have a game changer

This is one of the first smart glasses use cases that actually feels practical to me. Catching the moment an agent needs input, without babysitting the laptop, is a real workflow fix.

@farrukh_butt1 

You bet!

Now you can be on the move more & still max out your productivity.

Keeping an agent's output in my peripheral view instead of alt-tabbing to a terminal is a genuinely different way to babysit long-running jobs. How readable is a streaming log on the display in practice — do you diff it down, or show the raw tail?

Alston Zhuang

@oleksii_sekundant 

Right now we can show the full raw tail, so you can enter a session and inspect the actual output when you need detail.

That said, raw logs are not always the best default for a glasses display. The direction we’re moving toward is a distilled state layer.

Are non-coding use cases already being explored, or is the focus staying on developers for now?

Alston Zhuang

@phoenixhu 
Developers are the focus for this launch because the pain is very clear there.

But it’s not limited to coding. If your agent can do it from your laptop, Terminal Mode can keep that session visible and actionable on G2.


A fun example: I connected an agent to my smart home, so I can ask it to turn on lights, play music, and read the weather from G2. It feels like an early glimpse of G2 as an ambient command surface for agents.
