Innovative Eyewear, Inc. Announces the 2.0 Release

of its Android ChatGPT App for Smart Eyewear

Tekcapital Plc (AIM: TEK), the UK intellectual property investment group announces that Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear") (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the developer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Nautica®, Eddie Bauer® and Reebok® brands, is pleased to announce a key update to the Company's Lucyd app for Android, the first app to enable a voice interface for ChatGPT.

The launch of the 2.0 update delivers powerful new features and usability improvements, following similar upgrades made to the iOS version earlier this year. 

·  A ChatGPT toolbox has been added to the app with the following capabilities: the ability to write a paragraph of text from a voice prompt, translate English into Spanish, synopsize long tracts of text, improve the readability of text, generate an email with a prompt, and analyze the emotion of text. These tools use pre-specified parameters to generate useful types of analysis and copywriting from ChatGPT more rapidly.

·  An updated visual interface, with smoother graphics and intuitive controls for a more user-friendly experience.

·  Textual chat responses to queries now appear in an updated stream format.

·  The voice quality of the app's text-to-speech functionality has been improved.

·  The sharing feature has been updated to include the ability to export ChatGPT responses to email, SMS and social apps.

·  Additionally, the app is in the final stages of approval with Google for enabling handsfree Google Voice access to ChatGPT on Lucyd Eyewear. This final feature of the 2.0 update is expected to go live later this month.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear Inc., commented:

"We are excited to launch the new version of the Lucyd app for Android, which powers seamless voice access to ChatGPT on Lucyd eyewear. The new state-of-the-art interface makes the world's most popular AI language model easier to use than ever on our glasses and while on the go. We look forward to introducing additional features, a shop, and a pro version of the app in the near future. We also anticipate making the app a hub for connecting to multiple AI systems through our glasses with voice control, as outlined in our pending utility patent on the app. We believe this will deliver more functionality to our community and foster the development of an additional revenue stream from users of other "hearables" that want seamless voice access to ChatGPT."
