The devices are integrated with Muse, a personal assistant that now supports voice and real-time video. Meta is also expanding its smart glasses lineup with audio models that lack cameras and include FDA cleared hearing aid functionality. To monetize these tools, Meta plans to keep the AI agent free for users while taking a small fee on shopping transactions conducted by the assistant through retail partners such as Walmart and Best Buy.
