Sees through your glasses Translates live — 13 languages Acts on your voice

Built for people who want more from their glasses. Be one of the first 100 testers — your feedback directly shapes what Iris becomes.

Features

Your glasses, finally doing more.

Everything below is live in the beta today — no vaporware, no “soon”.

Sees what you see

Ask about anything in view. Iris streams your glasses camera to a real-time AI and answers in your ear while you keep looking around.

Translates live conversation

Speech around you becomes readable captions on your phone, in 13 languages. Switch by voice: “Iris, translate to Spanish.”

Gets things done by voice

“Find the best coffee near me.” Iris looks it up on the web and speaks the answer. Tinkerers can plug in their own OpenClaw agent for messaging, lists, and more.

Knows where you stand

Where am I? Which way is north? How many steps today? Answered instantly from your phone’s own sensors — and directions hand off straight to Maps.

Remembers — only if you want

With a hosted account, Iris can keep durable preferences to personalize answers across sessions. One switch turns it off; one tap erases everything.

Privacy you can see

Turn the camera off mid-conversation — the recording LED goes dark while the voice session keeps going. Every data switch is in plain sight in Settings.

No glasses yet? Iris runs on your iPhone camera too — try the full experience before you put it on your face.

Why join the beta

Testers aren’t an afterthought here.

01

Early access, always

New builds land on TestFlight as they’re ready — you’re running features weeks before anyone else sees them.

02

Your requests get built

Every piece of tester feedback is logged, triaged, and tracked. Several shipped features started as one tester’s “it’d be cool if…”.

03

A direct line, in the app

Settings → Send Feedback ships your note — with screenshots or a voice memo — straight to the people building Iris. No forms, no forums.

04

Free while in beta

Use your own free Gemini key, or ask us for hosted access with a monthly usage allowance on us. No credit card anywhere.

Getting started

How to join the beta.

Four steps. The first two get you talking to Iris on your iPhone; the last one lights up your glasses.

Get Iris from TestFlight

On your iPhone, install Apple’s free TestFlight app if you don’t have it, then open the invite link and tap Install.

Bring your own keysStart now

Self-serve, nothing to wait for:

  • Gemini API key (free from Google AI Studio) → the AI assistant, voice + vision.
  • + OpenAI key (optional) → live Translate.
  • + your own OpenClaw agent (optional, technical) → messaging, lists & more by voice.

Paste keys once in Iris → Settings. They stay on your phone.

Hosted by IrisAwareBy invitation

No keys at all — email hello@iris-ai.app and we’ll enable your address. Then sign in from the app with a magic link.

  • Assistant, Translate, web actions and memory included.
  • Free within a small monthly usage allowance.

Glasses owners: flip one switch

Iris talks to your glasses through Meta’s official Wearables Device Access Toolkit for third-party apps, which requires Developer Mode in the Meta AI app. It’s reversible and doesn’t change how your glasses work otherwise.

  1. Pair your Ray-Ban Meta glasses in the Meta AI app as usual.
  2. Meta AI → Settings → App Info → tap App version five times.
  3. Back in Settings, switch Developer Mode ON.
  4. In Iris: Connect my glasses, approve the handoff, then Start with glasses.

No glasses? Skip this step and tap Start on iPhone instead.

Say “Iris” and talk

Ask about what you see, say “switch to translation”, ask for directions — and when something feels off, Settings → Send Feedback puts it straight in our inbox.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly.

Is the beta free?
Yes. If you bring your own Gemini key, Google offers a free tier that covers casual use. If you use hosted access, we cover your usage up to a small monthly allowance. There is no payment anywhere in the app.
Do I need Ray-Ban Meta glasses?
No — Iris runs fully on the iPhone camera, and it’s a great way to try everything first. The glasses are where it gets magical: hands-free, eyes-up, the camera seeing exactly what you see.
What exactly is Developer Mode? Is it safe?
It’s an official setting in Meta’s own Meta AI app that lets third-party apps built on Meta’s Wearables Device Access Toolkit talk to your glasses. You unlock it by tapping the app version five times — a standard convention, the same way Android unlocks its developer options. It’s reversible at any time and doesn’t modify your glasses.
Is my data private?
We’re specific rather than vague here: your conversations are processed in real time by AI providers (Google Gemini; OpenAI when you use Translate) to generate answers — that’s how the product works. API keys you enter never leave your phone except to their own provider. Memory is optional, off in one switch, and fully erasable in one tap. An anonymous launch counter (no content, no personal data) can be switched off in Settings. Full details in the privacy policy.
Can I join on Android?
Not at the moment — the beta is iOS-only. If enough testers ask, an Android build is possible later; tell us at hello@iris-ai.app.
How do I give feedback?
Inside the app: Settings → Send Feedback. Attach a screenshot or record a voice note — it goes directly to the team, no account needed.
What can Iris actually do today?
Everything on this page is live: real-time voice + vision, live translation to 13 languages, web lookups by voice, location/compass/steps, Maps handoff, optional memory (hosted accounts), and the camera-off privacy toggle. We deliberately don’t advertise things that aren’t shipped — more integrations are in the works and will appear here when they’re real.
I already have TestFlight — what now?
Just open the invite link on your iPhone and tap Accept → Install. Updates arrive in TestFlight automatically.
What if the 100 spots are taken?
Email hello@iris-ai.app and we’ll put you on the waitlist — seats free up as the beta rotates.
How long will the beta last?
Until Iris is polished enough for a public release — no fixed date. TestFlight builds are valid for 90 days each and we ship new ones well within that window.
