You can ask Meta AI questions about what you’re looking at by saying “Hey Meta…” and then asking for more information about what you’re looking at. You can say “Hey Meta, look and…” to ask Meta AI to take a photo to use in its response.

You can also take a photo, either by voice or by using the capture button and within a few seconds, say “Hey Meta…” to ask a question about the photo.

You could ask Meta AI for the English translations of a sign you’re looking at in Italian, what’s the name of the houseplant that you’re looking at or to write a funny caption for the photo that you just took of a dog chasing its own tail. There are lots of things Meta AI can do and we’re working on expanding that list over time.

How does it work?

When you ask Meta AI questions about what you’re looking at, your glasses will send a photo to Meta’s cloud to be processed with AI. After processing, Meta AI will deliver an audio response on your glasses, and you will be able to review your request, the image and the response in  History.

How to ask Meta AI about what you see

Here’s just a few examples of what you can do when using your camera with Meta AI.

Ask about the world around you

• “Hey Meta, describe what I’m seeing.”
• “Hey Meta, tell me about this monument.”
• “Hey Meta, translate this text into English.”
• “Hey Meta, summarise this.”

Take actions on text around you

You can point at text and say things such as:

• “Hey Meta, call this phone number.”
• “Hey Meta, message this phone number.”
• “Hey Meta, scan this QR code.”

Get gardening tips

• “Hey Meta, how much water do these flowers need?”

Express yourself

• “Hey Meta, describe this landscape in an inspiring way.”
• “Hey Meta, write a funny poem about this dog.”

Bear in mind that you can also take a picture, either by voice or by using the capture button, and within a few seconds say “Hey Meta…” to ask questions about the world around you.
