When Meta demoed its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, it touted the ability to livestream, record video, and play music. Then, at its recent Meta Connect event, it unveiled one more thing. You can speak to it a conversational tone and the AI will fetch you answers to your questions.

Now that’s pretty nifty. In some ways, this will make us even lazier. Now we won’t even have to reach for our phones to do a search or sit in front of a computer to use a chat AI. The glasses hit the market for $300 and up starting today.
