Delivering personal superintelligence is now within reach
0:05
Soon, everyone is going to have an extremely capable personal agent that understands your goals and can work 24-7 on your behalf to help you achieve them
0:16
We believe that the best way to create a positive future for everyone is to put power in people's hands
0:22
This is the personal agent that we shipped a few weeks ago
0:26
that it's already helping millions of people with all kinds of different things
0:31
And in the coming years, I expect that Muse is going to grow into the personal superintelligence
0:37
that billions of people around the world are going to use to accomplish their goals and improve their lives
0:42
Muse also has a novel business model. We believe that Muse will make you money
0:49
And we're standing behind this by making Muse free for a huge number of tokens
0:54
with the expectation that over time, we will profit by taking a small fee from transactions
1:01
We launched the Muse Mac app last week. Give it access, and it works across your files
1:07
messages, calendar, notes, and more. It is state-of-the-art dictation built in natively
1:14
and big news today, we're adding computer use. You'll be able to add your Muse to an email thread
1:20
or forward emails from Muse to handle on your behalf. Connectors are a big reason why Muse is able to do so much for people
1:29
We launched with a whole bunch of partners like Spotify, OpenTable, Plaid, and Ticketmaster
1:35
And one of the great promises of e-commerce since the earliest days of the industry
1:40
has been that it can save you money and time. Personal agents are going to continue delivering on that promise for a new generation of shoppers
1:49
and they're going to help them discover products they love and get great deals too
1:55
This is a really big focus for us. So we're building a bunch of deep partnerships
1:59
with companies like Stripe and Shopify to enable a frontier shopping experience
2:04
Muse can access the entire Shopify product catalog agentically and use Link and now ShopPay
2:10
to buy almost anything on the internet. I'm very excited to announce today
2:14
that Walmart, Best Buy, Gap, Sephora, Wayfair, and many more are integrating with Muse
2:22
to enable new shopping experiences for their users Pretty soon we dropping the most capable model we ever trained It going to help our entire model family get smarter and more useful for everyone
2:34
including the models that power Muse. We have a whole room full of new glasses to show you today
2:39
We are excited about building other wearables too, but we think that glasses are going to be
2:45
the biggest category because first of all, they already are. And second, they're the only form factor
2:52
that lets your muse see what you see, hear what you hear
2:58
talk to you throughout the day, and display information right in your vision eventually
3:02
We built a voice mode that lets you design your muse's voice
3:05
to be just what you want. We trained a whole new state-of-the-art real-time model
3:11
that creates joyful animations of your muse as you were talking to it
3:16
Hey, cute Toga. Cute? Right. Let's get back to work, Mark. All right, I'm here on stage at Connect
3:26
Do you want to introduce yourself to everyone? Hello, everyone. I'm Agrippa, and I'm here to brainstorm and get things done with you
3:36
You can make this whole experience a lot more personal by customizing your muse's voice
3:43
You can just go ahead, describe what you want. Faster, slower, more Southern, more Australian, more pirate
3:51
I don't know, whatever you want. They're all looking at us. Is my hair okay
3:56
Can everyone please be normal for five seconds? It's going to have the full context from everything that you've been discussing
4:03
and it's going to be able to do work for you in the background. We built the Muse Secure VM to keep your information on your own secure virtual machine
4:14
And soon, we are also going to release the Muse Confidential VM so that even Meta won't
4:21
be able to see that. We're going to start rolling this out soon for features like live translations that people
4:26
are already using to translate entire sensitive conversations, and then we'll progressively
4:31
roll it out to more and more features after that. We are releasing something that goes much further
4:38
Hearing enhancement turns your glasses into an FDA-cleared, over-the-counter hearing aid that can compensate for perceived mild to moderate hearing loss
4:49
All right so now instead of spending thousands of dollars on a hearing aid people can just add the hearing enhancement option to MetaGlasses for a fraction of the price Without cameras this opens up a lot of new
5:05
design possibilities. They can look like any other glasses. You can make them much lighter and
5:14
slimmer. They have the longest battery of any of our glasses. They're going to last for a full day
5:21
of use, whether that's using Muse throughout the day or listening to music or making calls
5:27
Audio glasses not only let us ship the thinnest pair of Ray-Ban metas that we have ever shipped
5:34
we've also been able to refactor the electronics to support new styles like the iconic Ray-Ban
5:43
Clubmaster. We've been working with our partners at SLR Luxottica to design the right pair of
5:49
glasses for everyone. And beyond audio glasses, today we are also updating our entire lineup
5:57
with Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3. We've also added a whole lot more technology to these. The battery
6:04
keeps getting better. There are new capture modes. One feature that I think is just magical to
6:11
experience is the Dolby Atmos spatial audio capture. Now you can capture a video and when you play it back
6:20
the audio sounds like it is coming from wherever in the room
6:24
those original sounds were. We've also got an update for you on the meta Ray-Ban display glasses
6:29
These were the first glasses that we shipped that come with full-color
6:34
high-resolution displays, and for the first time ever the meta neural band
6:39
band. We are finally catching up with demand. So now they're going to be available for sale online
6:46
at meta.com. And we are also for the first time, I think, going to start rolling them out
6:51
internationally. So by the end of the year, we're going to have more than a hundred different styles
6:57
of glasses available. So there is a pair of glasses for everyone. We have built a new kind
7:05
VR device that delivers the same magical feeling of presence and immersion with high-resolution
7:13
displays and views of the world around you in a form factor that is a pair of glasses Here it is Meta VR glasses Meta VR glasses weigh about 100 grams on your face
7:34
It has the best display system that we have ever made. It is the result of more than a decade of work
7:43
The colors are richer, the blacks are deeper. every interaction can be done with a combination of your eyes, your hands, and your voice
7:54
You just look at something. You can use a small hand gesture to control it. You can do little
7:59
finger movements. When you want to get work done, you can turn any flat surface into a really good
8:07
keyboard and trackpad. You've got a private cinema, a computer with multiple monitors
8:14
and a game console in a pair of glasses for the first time ever
8:21
As Mark said, you can control the whole thing with your hands and your voice. And we've integrated an assistant right here at the operating system level
8:28
Got it. Update schematics, merge hardware, render materials, block calendar, track option. I'm on it
8:34
Socially, with hologram calling. And for the first time in VR, these are full-body holograms
8:41
Yes, I... I know. We have finally solved the truly very hard problem of giving you legs in VR
8:51
Soon you'll be able to join video calls from your display glasses and appear exactly how
8:56
you want, no matter where you are or what you're doing. We're going to ship it in the spring, give people plenty of time to get their content
9:02
ready for it, and it's going to cost $12.99. We packed the whole Muse experience, including the whole real-time voice and avatar stack
9:11
into something that fits on a keychain and is always available to talk to you
9:20
You just go ahead and tap here in the fingerprint sensor in the corner
9:24
and you can start talking without having to unlock a phone or open an app
9:31
So we've packed a lot of technology into this little guy. So if you're not wearing glasses
9:38
this is going to be by far the fastest way to talk to your muse
9:43
and to show it what's going on around you. Can't wait to see how you use all of this
9:48
to improve your lives and shape the future. Have a good night
