The Vergecast sponsors and ad reads

Support for the show comes from Even Realities. For a long time, the reality of smart glasses was that they were these bulky, inelegant pieces of tech that were much cooler in concept than really in practice. Well, Even Realities has fixed that. Even G2 are productivity smart glasses designed to keep real-time support right in view. With teleprompting, conversation support, real-time translation, AI assistance, and more, they help you stay on top of work in daily life. And unlike most smart glasses, they're designed to look and feel like premium eyewear. With no camera and a lightweight 36-gram design, you can wear all day. The more context you give them, the smarter they get. Adapt into how you work and what you need. To learn more about EvenG2, go to evenrealities.com and see how everyday smart glasses keep helpful information in sight so you can stay productive and hands-free throughout the day. And for our listeners, use promo code VERGE at evenrealities.com to get 10% off Even Ring 1 and/or Even Clip when you add them to your EvenG2 order. That's evenrealities.com, promo code VERGE.

Support for the Vergecast comes from Granola. The one thing everyone in the office truly dreads is a late scheduled meeting. You can almost hear the collective virtual groan the moment it pops up on the calendar. While there isn't much you can do about those kinds of meetings, Granola can help ease the tension and make those meetings go smoothly. Granola is an AI-powered notepad built for the way real people actually meet. Here's how it works. You can take rough notes like you normally would, and in the background, Granola securely transcribes the meeting. Then it turns everything into clean, structured, actually useful notes when the meeting ends. And the best part, Granola works through your device's audio, which means it integrates seamlessly into the video conferencing tools you already use. No setup, no awkward bots. So if meetings are eating up your day, Granola is a no-brainer. You can try it totally free for three months. Just head to granola.ai slash verge. That's granola.ai slash verge to get your time back.
