👓 AI devices: Mega update for Meta Smart Glasses

Ok, we need to talk about AI devices again. And therefore once again about Meta, as we did on Monday.

They are massively on fire! After the rollout of the Llama 3 model as an AI chatbot on WhatsApp, Instagram and meta.ai, the company's own smart glasses (in cooperation with RayBan) are next.

But let's go back to the beginning.

AI devices are a super exciting field with huge potential. In other words: small gadgets that become really useful thanks to the power of AI. But are they really useful already?

The much-hyped Humane AI Pin was destroyed by critics, the Rabbit R1 sold out after one day, and there is anticipation building for the Rewind.ai Limitless.ai device. They recently announced a pin that records everything you say (audio only).

We find the concept of a personal AI exciting. It hears and reads everything and is therefore very helpful. And if the data is as secure as promised, even better.

We ordered the Limitless Pin last October and hope that it will arrive soon, so we can report back to you in detail.

Back to Meta: they are now going one step further with the RayBan Smart Glasses. These cool glasses (in our opinion) can not only hear, but also see. And then understand the whole thing.

This results in a few really intriguing use cases:

1. Ask questions about what you see

The Glasses respond to your requests or can take pictures with the camera and answer questions ("Hey Meta, what kind of butterfly is that?").

2. Translate things you see

3. Integrations in apps round off the whole thing

Further possibilities:

• Take pictures and videos

• Make calls with the integration to Messenger and Whatsapp

• Listen to podcasts / music and still be aware of your surroundings

We are already enthusiastic users of Meta's smart glasses. Thanks to Llama, it's the first actually useful AI gadget for us (except for the smartphone, of course).

And the vision integration makes it a well-rounded product, because you don't always have to get your smartphone out of the pocket - the glasses are already on your nose. The fact that you can quickly and easily take a snapshot or a short video is also a killer feature.

It's really fun, and we never leave the house without it.

(Data protection is of course always rather concerning with Meta, but everyone has to decide for themselves. Most features are only available in the US and Canada, but should be rolled out gradually to other countries).

🖼️ Adobe presents new image model Firefly 3

We tend to hold back on news about Adobe. We always think that those who use Adobe already know it anyway.

However, we make an exception when there is an update that might make Adobe interesting for new users. Just like the recently released next iteration of their own image model: Firefly 3

The third version seems to have fixed a major drawback. Until now, Firefly was not perfect at photorealistic images (similarly suboptimal as DALL-E).

But now it works much better and the details are also more pronounced.

This makes Firefly more interesting for all of us. And it also has a few other advantages, especially for people who want to use it commercially.

• Firefly is integrated into the best creative tools, such as Photoshop etc.

• It therefore offers the most options for further editing the AI images.

• No copyright problems, as Firefly was only trained on stock material.

You can try it out yourself quickly and easily:

Click here and create an account

Select a new model, enter the prompt, and off you go!

What's also really cool is that you can upload references in the app to create images with a consistent structure or style. Very helpful for brands, website design, etc.

Of course, if you want to use Adobe, you need a lot of experience, especially for the big tools like Photoshop etc., and the learning curve is a bit longer.

But the company is doing a really cool job in terms of AI and creative professionals in particular have the greatest benefits as a result.

✍️ AI in everyday life: analyzing and evaluating ratings

Today, another example of how AI can be used in everyday life.

It is about using AI to analyze product reviews or user feedback.

What do we want to do?

For example, you have a software idea for an area where there is already a lot out there. How can you stand out from the crowd?

The first goal is to find out where the strengths and weaknesses of the individual players lie in order to achieve better positioning.

Of course, the whole thing also works with Amazon products or any online stores etc.

Or maybe you just want to take a closer look at your competitors …

The bottom line is that the process is the same.

Let's stay with the software example:

For example, you can use the Claude Meta Prompt Tool to write a prompt. Or you can take a look at the Prompt Library from Anthropic to see if there is a suitable one.

Slightly adapted, an example looks like this:

You are an AI assistant trained to divide user feedback into predefined categories and perform sentiment analysis for each category. 

Your goal is to analyze each piece of feedback, assign the most relevant categories and determine the sentiment (positive, negative or neutral) assigned to each category based on the content of the feedback.

If you can't find anything, just write: No feedback

At the end, please summarize where the biggest advantages and problems lie according to the feedback.

Here are the predefined categories:

Product features and functionality
- Core functions 
- Extensions and integrations 
- Customization and configuration 
- User experience and design

User friendliness
- Navigation and findability 
- Visual design and aesthetics 
- Accessibility 
- Performance and reliability

Pricing model and levels
- Billing processes and invoicing 
- License management 
- Upgrades and renewals 
- Security, compliance and data protection

Data protection and confidentiality
- Access control and authentication 
- Regulatory compliance 
- Incident response and monitoring 
- Mobile and cross-platform compatibility

Functionality of the mobile app
- Synchronization and data consistency 
- Responsive design 
- Compatibility with devices and operating systems 
- Third-party integrations and API

Integration functionality and reliability
- API documentation and support 
- Customization and extensibility 
- Induction, training and documentation

User guides and tutorials
- In-app instructions and tooltips 
- Webinars and live training sessions 
- Knowledge database and FAQs

You can of course change and improve this as you wish.

Now you just need the customer reviews of the products, tools, etc. that you want to analyze.

You can simply copy them manually into a table. Or take a screenshot of the page, as most AIs now understand images thanks to their Vision function.

Or you can go one step further and automatically scrape all reviews from the web!

One tool that we love to use for this is Bardeen. You can easily create such a scraper with it:

Bardeen then automatically pulls all the ratings and creates a table for you. This is particularly useful if you want to analyze many hundreds of ratings.

You could now build the next step of automation with Bardeen and send the results to Claude or OpenAI with the prompt.

However, this is only possible in the premium version from $10 per month.

We find this extremely helpful and use such kinds of workflows all the time.

We made it! But no need to be sad.

The AInauts will be back soon, with new content for you.
