  "summary": "Meta is working on bringing its AI assistant, Muse, to its smart glasses. According to The Verge, users will be able to activate Muse by saying its name and ask it to handle tasks such as guiding a workout, logging meals, or helping with shopping.\n\nMeta's smart glasses are also getting a new feature called Hearing Enhancement, which is FDA-cleared software designed for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. This feature, as reported by The Verge and TechRadar, turns the glasses into an over-the-counter hearing aid, amplifying sound based on the user's hearing profile and using machine learning to boost voices and suppress background noise.\n\nAdditionally, Mashable reports that Meta has unveiled a new camera-free version of its smart glasses, which can stream music, take calls, and connect to Muse. The glasses are said to have the longest battery life of any of Meta's glasses and will be available in classic Ray-Ban styles.",
