What tech actually makes meetings and phone calls easier? AI glasses that take hands-free calls and translate live, open-ear earbuds that let you hear the room, and pocket AI voice recorders that transcribe and summarize meetings and phone calls so you can stay present. If you're on calls all day, start with an AI recorder. If you're on the go, try smart glasses. For long calls in comfort, go with open-ear buds. Curated by Monica Essary, MonicaEssary.com

I've worked at a desk for over 30 years, and these are the keyboards and mice that finally made mine fun. Every time I'm on a video call someone asks, “Where'd you get that keyboard?” So here they are: typewriter-style keys that glow rainbow, a keyboard with its own mini screen, cat paw mice and see-through RGB ones. They're cute on camera and still comfy for a full workday, and my pups approve of the quiet clicks. Curated by Monica Essary, MonicaEssary.com #DeskSetup #RetroKeyboard #WFHLife #DeskGoals #CozyDesk
