Innovative Eyewear, Inc. Announces Exciting New Features for the Lucyd ChatGPT App

MIAMI, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the manufacturer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Lucyd Armor®, Reebok®, Eddie Bauer® and Nautica® brands, is pleased to announce a powerful new update to the Company's Lucyd app for iOS and Android. The Lucyd app was the first to enable voice access to ChatGPT in smart eyewear, and the Company believes these latest enhancements further advance its market position as a leader in smart eyewear.  

Below are the new updates:

• App Shopping. Both the iOS and Android versions have received a new in-app shopping experience, complete with prescription customization on all Lucyd eyewear. We believe the app shopping is faster, more immersive and more customized than our other ecommerce channels, while conveniently synchronizing order history with our main customer account system on Lucyd.co.
• New Siri Commands for Walkie. New voice prompts have been created for the iOS app's Walkie-talkie features, which enable the user to join and leave channels handsfree by activating Siri from the glasses. The user can also now mute and unmute the glasses microphones while on a Walkie channel via a Siri command. These new commands make it faster to manage communications on the move.
• Natural Voice. The iOS app's AI assistant now features upgraded voice output, delivering more natural, human speech for a more enjoyable AI interface.
• Overall UX Improvements. The app menus and screens have been tuned up and clarified on both versions.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear, said "We are advancing our goal to make the Lucyd app a powerful companion to our products, that enhances user enjoyment and product utility. While Lucyd frames are a device-agnostic accessory that provides a valuable interface for the majority of computing platforms, the app provides a deeper feature set for the power user, giving them an attractive and streamlined range of smart features to expand their Lucyd Eyewear experience. The app is also an incredible platform enabling us to develop specific features for different segments of the smart eyewear market, such as the Walkie feature for Lucyd Armor, and are planned fitness utilities to complement our Reebok smart eyewear."

In advance of any significant marketing effort, the Lucyd app has been downloaded approximately 15,000 times. A paid Pro version of the app allows users to subscribe for $7.99/month to raise the number of ChatGPT queries permitted per day from 30 to unlimited and provides the ability to create secure Walkie channels for business applications.
