The biggest addition is the inclusion of proactive AI, which is designed to surface reminders and other useful information based on factors like the weather, your location, calendar items, or, eventually, recent purchase history. That means, for example, that the Qwen AI Glasses S1 might tell you to bring an umbrella before leaving the house if rain is expected, or it might remind you to correct your posture while you’re working.

Alibaba even says that future updates might use information like your recent purchase history to tell you to drink water if you’ve consumed too much caffeine or even assess traffic in real-time to tell you if you should leave from work early to avoid getting stuck.

That's okay, China can keep it.

Where are the cool features, these are just basic phone functionality...

Some of them are even basic post-it functionality.

Post-its don't make a noise or vibrate to remind me they exist so I can just ignore them

But all of this could just be an app on your phone. Hell you could do much of this with ifttt

Great news! Users can transfer even more of their memory and executive functions to the machine. Dumbing down at breakneck speed!
