Trump to Host Xi for State Dinner With AI Titans as Meta Connect Kicks Off

Snap Inc. announced partnerships with Nvidia Corp, Salesforce, Inc. and Amazon Web Services on Wednesday to bring its $2,195 SPECS glasses into enterprise environments, pitching the device as a new computer rather than another pair of smart glasses. Under the deal, Nvidia will bring agents built on its XR AI stack to the glasses, allowing them to interpret a worker's surroundings and provide real-time guidance, while Salesforce's Agentforce can help workers identify objects, retrieve information and update workflows and AWS is connecting its AI assistant to tasks such as checking inventory. Trifork and Hololight are developing applications for remote technical support and spatial workstations. Snap has priced SPECS at $2,195, with shipping expected later this fall in the U.S., U.K. and France, and is also introducing SPECS Intelligence, an anticipatory AI service designed to understand users' goals, routines and priorities across iPhone, Mac and the glasses. CEO Evan Spiegel has described SPECS as a computer that puts computing into the world rather than asking people to look down at a screen, and for Nvidia the key question is whether AR glasses become another endpoint where AI agents need continuous visual understanding and inference.

TruVideo announced it is now compatible with AI glasses from Meta, letting automotive and trucking service technicians start and stop service and inspection video recording entirely by hands-free voice command. The company said the integration drops transcription from Meta's AI glasses into the dealership DMS platforms and workflows teams already use, so there is nothing new to learn. Co-Founder and CTO Douglas Chrystall said TruVideo has worked closely with the Meta AI glasses team for the past few months, building the technology to fit how dealerships actually run because it was not ready out of the box for automotive technician and sales workflows. Support on the AI glasses is available now to select TruVideo customers, and the company plans to follow the voice-based launch with an intelligent voice assistant that understands each vehicle's service history and guides technicians step by step. TruVideo says nearly 10,000 automotive dealerships and trucking service centers use its platform.
