Meta’s Muse AI agent is coming to its smart glasses, and it can see and act for you

Meta's AI agent is leaving your phone behind and moving right onto your face.

Meta’s Connect 2026 event was a busy one. The company unveiled the new Meta VR Glasses, which are five times lighter than the Meta Quest 3, and its first Ray-Ban Meta Audio glasses with open-ear audio built into every pair. It also introduced the Muse Charm, a pocket-sized device built for chatting with your Muse. 

Apart from the hardware, the company also spent a lot of time on its Muse AI agent. One of the announcements that caught my attention was that Muse is finally making its way to its smart glasses. If you own a pair of Meta glasses, this is the update you should be excited about.

What makes Muse AI so special?

Meta launched Muse only a few weeks back, and it has already picked up several new tricks. Unlike a regular voice assistant, Muse lets you have long, detailed conversations while it completes tasks in the background. You can even customize its voice by describing what you want, whether that’s a faster pace or a specific accent.

Muse is also getting its own email address, and on the Mac, it can now control any app with your permission. Meta has added a long list of new connectors, including Walmart, Best Buy, Sephora, Instacart, Notion, and GitHub, so Muse can shop, plan, and work on your behalf.

When is Muse coming to your glasses?

Over the coming months, Meta will bring Muse to its AI glasses, giving you hands-free access to your agent. You can wake it up by simply saying its name.

The best part is that Muse can understand what you’re looking at, so you don’t have to describe it. Spot a product on a store shelf, a flier on a wall, or a long list of school supplies, and Muse can take action for you.

I think this is where AI glasses finally start to make sense. Instead of pulling out your phone, you can look, ask, and let your agent take care of the rest.

Nothing has already made a name for itself with smartphones, earbuds, and other accessories that look a little different from everything else on the market. Now, the company may be preparing to add another product category to its lineup: smart glasses.

According to Roland Quandt, who shared the details on Bluesky, Nothing is working on two different types of smart glasses. One will reportedly focus on audio, letting you listen to music and take calls, while the other could offer a built-in camera, ChatGPT integration, and translation features. While Nothing hasn't officially confirmed either product, the leak gives us an early idea of what the company might be planning.

Samsung Health now needs just 3 days of sleep data to coach you toward better sleep
Samsung is making its Sleep Coaching feature easier to access while adding more personalized advice and clearer sleep reports.
Samsung health sleep tracking

Samsung is making it much easier to get started with Sleep Coaching in the Samsung Health app. With its latest update, you only need three days of sleep data from the past two weeks to begin, down from seven days in a month.

I think that’s a welcome change. Sleep Tracking only tells you how you slept, while Sleep Coaching tries to help you build better sleep habits. Lowering the requirement means you reach the more useful feature much sooner.

Fitbit Edge gives me more features, but my money’s still on the Fitbit Air
Fitbit Edge vs Fitbit Air: Sometimes, less really is more
Google Fitbit Edge launched

I'll admit, Google's new Fitbit Edge looks on par with some of the great fitness bands coming out of China. It takes everything I appreciate about traditional Fitbit trackers and wraps it in a sleek design and better polish. You get a 1.34-inch Hybrid OLED display, built-in GPS, ECG support, and a physical button. Google has even made the battery replaceable, something I genuinely appreciate in an era when most wearables become disposable once their batteries deteriorate.

For $179.99, the Edge seems to be reasonably priced too. However, the more I think about what I'd actually want from a fitness tracker, the more I lean towards Google's $99.99 Fitbit Air. Believe it or not, the lack of a display is also the Air's biggest strength.
