===Meta AI Integration===
A key feature is the integration of [[Meta AI]], Meta's conversational [[artificial intelligence|assistant]]. Activated with the wake phrase "Hey Meta," the AI allows users to perform various tasks hands-free.<ref name="MetaNewsLaunch"/> Initial capabilities focused on information retrieval, device control, and messaging. A major update introduced multimodal AI capabilities (initially in beta in the US, rolling out more broadly), enabling the glasses to analyze what the wearer is seeing through the camera.<ref name="metaupdate"/><ref name="metaai"></ref> This allows for features like:
