New VR Glasses and More! Everything Announced at Meta Connect in Less Than 10 Minutes

Overview

Meta Connect announcements centered on Meta’s “Muse” personal agent, new shopping/deals integrations, and a lineup of new/updated wearable and VR glasses.

Muse personal agent (AI assistant)

• Personal superintelligence vision: Muse is positioned as evolving into an agent that can understand goals and work 24/7 on the user’s behalf.
• Already launched / scale: Described as released a few weeks prior and helping millions of people.
• New business model: Muse is made free for a huge amount of tokens, with revenue expected via small transaction fees over time.
• Mac app + native dictation: A Muse app for Mac can access files, messages, calendar, notes, etc., and includes “most advanced dictation” built in natively.
• “Add to a computer” capability: Muse can be used with a computer by:
  • Adding Muse to an email thread
  • Forwarding emails to Muse for processing via connectors
• Connectors as core capability: Partnerships already include Spotify, OpenTable, Plaid, Ticketmaster, enabling richer agent actions.

Shopping and deal-focused agent model

Personal agents are framed as a continuation of e-commerce’s promise: saving money and time, helping users find products and get deals.

Deep partnerships highlighted with:

• Stripe and Shopify for more convenient purchasing
• Using Shopify’s catalog through an agent, with Link and Shop Pay to buy online

Major retailer integrations announced:

• Walmart, Best Buy, Gap, Sephora, Wayfair, and others, integrating with Muse for a new shopping experience.

Model upgrade

Meta announced it will release its most powerful model yet, intended to improve the “family of models,” including those powering Muse.

Privacy / secure agent computing

• Muse Secure Virtual Machine: Stores user information on the user’s own secure virtual machine.
• Planned confidential Muse virtual machine: described as so even Meta can’t see it.
• Rollout plan: Includes features like live translation (already used for translating private conversations), expanding to more features gradually.

Wearables: glasses upgrades (Ray-Ban Meta line)

Audio Glasses / Hearing Enhancement

• Hearing Enhancement turns glasses into an FDA-approved hearing aid for mild to moderate perceived hearing loss.
