Snap unveils personal AI assistant, new features coming to Specs: What you get with the AR glasses
The slew of upgrades coming to Snap’s soon-to-be-launched AR glasses is aimed at giving it a better place in wearers’ everyday lives
Snap on Wednesday, September 16, gave users a clearer glimpse of what to expect from its highly anticipated Specs augmented reality (AR) smart glasses, teasing new partnerships, features and services, including Specs Intelligence, ahead of a planned launch later this year.
The $2,195 wearable will ship sometime this fall with Specs Intelligence, a new AI assistant that can connect to other digital accounts to help wearers with work tasks, keep track of travel information, etc. Early adopters can get their hands on the Snapchat parent’s first-ever pair of AR glasses at a pop-up in Los Angeles, California, US, in October 2026.
Snap first debuted its long-awaited smart glasses earlier this year. But the reveal was underwhelming for several users who were surprised at the cost and disliked the big, bold, and black design of Specs. The glasses come in two lens sizes, 47mm and 52mm, and there is no mistaking these for a regular pair of glasses as they are bulkier than regularly designed smart glasses like the Meta-Ray Bans.
