Snap introduces a standalone AI assistant, Specs Intelligence

Unlike most of its social media rivals, Snap hasn't made many big bets on AI. The company has added a bunch of generative AI-powered features to Snapchat, but it hasn't made the technology a central focus. Now, the company is introducing a new standalone AI assistant alongside its redesigned AR glasses. Called Specs Intelligence, the "anticipatory AI service" will feature prominently in Snap's hardware, but will also have dedicated desktop and mobile apps for those who don't have a pair of glasses. Snap doesn't describe Specs Intelligence as an agent or assistant, but its description will sound familiar to anyone who followed Meta's recent Muse announcement.
