  "account": "Snapchat has unveiled Specs Intelligence, an independent AI service that will serve as the core of its new augmented reality (AR) glasses. This separate AI is also accessible through standalone desktop and mobile applications for users who don't own the glasses. Designed as an \"anticipatory AI service,\" Specs Intelligence focuses on a user's goals, priorities, relationships, and routines, which it gathers from connected apps and tools. This AI can link to external accounts like Google to provide pertinent reminders and contextual information. For instance, before a meeting, it could display questions to ask and items to remember, or display travel plans before a trip. It organizes information into distinct \"corners\" for different contexts, separating personal tasks like family reminders from work deadlines. Users with the AR Specs glasses can access Specs Intelligence directly within their field of view using the \"Hey Specs\" voice command. During a demonstration, voice command functionality allowed opening a browser window, though full assistant capabilities were not yet available. Privacy is a top priority for Snap with Specs Intelligence. The data will not be used to train AI models or serve ads, and Snap employees cannot view or access users' personal content. A limited preview of Specs Intelligence is now available in the United States through the Specs app on iOS, allowing users to connect Google accounts and view insights about their time and attention. However, this beta version lacks proactive suggestions. Full early access will initially be limited to invite-only users through the Specs Mac app, with a waitlist available for those interested in trying it.",
