We at AIverse are all about AI. While AR was the true big reveal in the conference, we’re just going to look at the launch from an AI lens. Beyond the hype, to uncover all the use cases of AI within the realm of Meta.
Meta AI voice on all apps — Instagram, Whatsapp, Messenger, Facebook
Meta’s AI, available across all their apps — Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp has gotten some spicy updates and a new underlying model. I mean after OpenAI’s Strawberry or o1, we did see this coming. But there were definitely some updates we did not see coming.
Orion glasses, the a.k.a the holographic future is TBD. Well, so is the discussion haha!
Full Holographic communication
“The most advanced glasses the world has ever seen”, as quoted by Zuck, must require a new interface. A new way of designing and a new way of solving a problem.

I have Facebook’s Red book, which they gave to their early employees, sitting on my desk as a reminder that Meta is leading and changing the ways we humans communicate. It still holds true, especially after today’s Connect.
According to Mark, you can slide any apps in front of you (and on top of the person in front of you)
Verge poses a great question, “is it augmenting reality or breaking reality?”
Nevertheless, mind-freaking-blowing!
Meta AI is now Multi-modal
Just another company hopping on another AI macro-trend. Insights by AIverse highlighted 7 macro trends (conversational, AI in old UI, multi-modal, agentive etc.) and it’s crazy to see how bang on it is.
Meta AI can now understand images and edit them based on text.

It can also create images like this on Instagram — super creator friendly.
Meta AI voices
Llama isn’t just text anymore. It has a voice. In fact, not just one but some popular celebrity voice too —John Cena, Kriten Bell, Awkwafina and more.

Real-time assistance tools
Meta Ray-Ban AI updates — a lot of realtime updates.
Scan QR code or Call phone number just by looking
2. Saving in the memory of everything you do
3. Real-time fact check by browsing the internet
4. And finally, live translation!!
English-Spanish live conversation translated via the Meta's Ray Ban.
Glimpse into AI future
It’s how everything Apple’s Vision Pro showcased is now being shown in a thinner and lighter Meta’s Orion. Widgets, apps, and websites everything available on your fingertips while you’re not even looking at your phone.
Zuck’s vision for AI is a Neural Interface
Huh?
Neural Interface?
“I think that you need a device that allows you to send a signal from your brain to the device” — Zuckerberg
The glasses come with a bracelet that makes it possible to control the virtual device via your nerves.
Rubbing your thumb to scroll
Wrist based neural interface is scrolling content by “scrolling” your thumb.
More detailed insights and forecasts to come later. This is everything I captured as I watched the Connect 2024. Wild ride wouldn’t you say?
