Meta AI on the glasses feels way too clunky. How do you actually use it?
Yesterday I was at a mall trying to compare products at a stand using my Meta glasses, and the whole interaction was frustrating.
I had to say “Hey Meta,” ask it to look at what was in front of me, wait for its answer, and then say “Hey Meta” again just to ask a follow-up question. Repeating the wake word every time you want to continue the same conversation gets tedious fast, especially in public.
By comparison, I started a call with Dots in Codex from my phone, and everything felt much more fluid. I could just talk, ask follow-up questions, and keep the conversation going naturally. The downside is that it can’t directly access the camera on the Meta glasses. But that conversational continuity is exactly what I wish Meta AI offered.
I think Meta has an option to keep the conversation going for a few minutes or leave the mic active, but the battery drain makes it hard to justify—it feels like the battery is gone in about 20 minutes. My call with Dots didn’t drain it nearly as much.
The glasses are such a good format for an assistant, but constantly having to reactivate it makes the experience feel awkward.
Am I missing a setting or a better way to use them? Are there any options that make conversations more fluid? Also, why haven’t they integrated Muse into the glasses?
How are you all using Meta AI day to day? Is it actually useful for back-and-forth conversations, or do you mostly stick to quick, one-off questions?
