Meta introduced its first camera-free AI glasses, the Ray-Ban Meta Audio, at its Connect 2026 conference and positioned them as audio-only alternatives to prior AI glasses criticism. The Ray-Ban Meta Audio starts at $349 and weighs 43 grams. With no built-in camera, Meta is shifting its AI glasses lineup toward audio features like calls and translation while separately advancing its next-generation camera glasses (Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3).
Meta is working on bringing Muse, its agent, to its smart glasses so users can activate it by voice and have it handle tasks like workout guidance, meal logging, and product shopping. Meta said the glasses will include Hearing Enhancement, which it describes as FDA-cleared software for adults with mild to moderate perceived hearing loss. This extends Muse from a standalone launch to Meta wearable use and adds accessibility features to the smart glasses lineup.
Meta launched Ray-Ban Meta Audio Glasses with Meta AI but no camera for recording others. The glasses are introduced at Meta Connect 2026. As a result, Meta shifts its newest wearable away from camera-based surveillance concerns toward audio-only interaction.
Ringg’s AI agents resolved up to 65% of customer calls using OpenAI. They run on GPT-5.6 and are claimed to cut costs by 90% versus GPT-4.1. As a result, Ringg can deploy multilingual agents across voice, chat, WhatsApp, and web at lower cost.
