😎 Inside Meta’s Wild New Smart Glasses

Plus, what you need to create clear, effective “How-To” videos for any audience.

In partnership with

Welcome, Automaters!

Meta’s at it again and this time it’s smart glasses so advanced they track your eyes, hands, and heartbeat — but only if you’re a researcher. So, naturally, we snuck in a little preview.

Also: ChatGPT just leveled up. Uncle Sam (aka OpenAI) is gunning for Zoom, Notion, and every other app in your stack.

Here's what we have for you today

 😎 Inside Meta’s Wild New Smart Glasses

Meta’s back with another pair of futuristic glasses — Aria Gen 2. 

But before you ask: no, they’re not for sale (yet).

These babies are basically a research lab on your face — designed strictly for researchers — but they’re giving us a sneak peek at where AR, AI, and even robotics are headed.

And honestly? It’s kinda wild.

So, what’s the deal with Aria Gen 2?

Well, for starters, it’s an upgraded version of Meta’s experimental smart glasses, first introduced back in 2020. Think of them as Meta’s nerdy lab goggles... but sleeker, smarter, and kinda hot 🔥 

Here’s what’s new:

  • Eye-tracking 2.0: These glasses track your gaze per eye, detect blinks (yes, even those accidental ones), and pinpoint where your pupils are focused. Translation: they know exactly what you’re looking at — and for how long.

  • Sees like a machine: With four computer vision cameras, Aria Gem 2 can track hands and objects in 3D — ideal for researchers teaching robot hands to pull off super-precise tasks.

  • Heart rate sensor in the nosepad: Yep, there’s a heart sensor tucked right into the nosepad that can detect when your pulse spikes. → It’s giving “wearable wellness,” but make it subtle.

  • Hears you better than your best friend: Thanks to a built-in contact mic, you get clearer audio even in noisy environments. Talk about selective hearing.

  • Knows if you’re indoors or out: An ambient light sensor lets the glasses adapt based on your surroundings. It’s a tiny detail — but it makes the whole system way smoother.

As for the form factor? They finally got that sorted too:

  • Folding arms (at last!)

  • 75g weight (light enough to forget you’re even wearing them)

  • 8 sizes — because one-size-fits-all is definitely a lie

Now here’s the catch — you can’t buy them. Yet.

They’re strictly for research use, but Meta’s opening up applications later this year. Think of it as VIP access to the tech that could eventually power your next-gen smart glasses — the kind that’ll probably come with an AI sidekick… and maybe laser beams? 👀 

Oh — and this isn’t a one-off. It’s all part of Meta’s long game toward full-blown AR domination: we’re talking about them flooding everywhere with:

  • Ray-Ban smart glasses (already out in the wild)

  • Orion AR glasses (that rumored Oakley collab)

  • And the mysterious “Hypernova” glasses with built-in screens.

If you ask me? The future’s looking real sci-fi — and honestly, kinda stylish too.

 🦾 OpenAI Supercharges ChatGPT for Teams 

OpenAI is making sure ChatGPT isn’t just some chatbot you ask dumb questions to—it’s turning into your company’s secret weapon.

First off, ChatGPT now hooks up with all the big cloud players—Dropbox, Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Box—you name it.

What this means is, instead of spitting out generic info, ChatGPT can dive straight into your actual company files and docs to find the answers you really need.

Imagine you’re an analyst trying to whip up an investment thesis; ChatGPT can pull data directly from your team’s slide decks and documents. Plus, no weird privacy breaches here—OpenAI strictly follows your organization’s access rules, so it only sees what you’re allowed to see.

They’ve also leveled up the meeting game big time.

ChatGPT can now record and transcribe your meetings with time-stamped notes, drop action item suggestions, and even convert those action items into Canvas docs—OpenAI’s own tool for writing and coding projects.

This move puts ChatGPT right in the ring with apps like Zoom, ClickUp, and Notion, who’ve all been battling to own this space.

And for the research junkies? OpenAI is rolling out deep research connectors for HubSpot, Linear, and select Microsoft and Google tools in beta. 

On top of that, there’s this fancy MCP support (model context protocol) that lets you connect ChatGPT to even more research tools. Basically, if you’re hungry for data, ChatGPT’s got the hookup.

But here’s the kicker: all these features are for the paid crowd—Pro, Team, and Enterprise users get the keys to this shiny new AI kingdom.

Why should you care?

Because OpenAI is making it crystal clear: they want ChatGPT to be the AI that runs the show in your workspace.

And with 3 million enterprise users already signed up (that’s a million more since February), it looks like they’re winning that race fast.

🤖 ChatGPT Prompt Of The Day: Create Clear, Effective “How-To” Videos for Any Audience

Whether you’re onboarding new team members or educating your customers, a well-structured “how-to” video can make all the difference.

For internal use, it ensures consistent training, saves time, and empowers employees to hit the ground running. For external use, it builds trust with your audience, reduces support requests, and shows the value of your product or service in action.

This prompt helps you design informative, time-efficient video outlines that are tailored to your specific audience.

Here Are Some Tips to Deploy This Prompt Effectively:

  1. Clarify your audience: Is the video for internal staff, new hires, or external users like clients or customers? The tone and examples should match.

  2. Define the purpose: Is this a skills demo, a product tutorial, or a process explanation?

  3. List the tools: Mention any apps, software, platforms, or physical tools needed, it's especially helpful for screen recordings or app walk-throughs.

  4. Keep it digestible: Break it into short, time-estimated segments so viewers can follow along easily.

  5. Include visuals: Think of ways to make it come alive with charts, screen grabs, live demos, or animated cues.

  6. End with clarity: Finish with a clear recap and next step — whether that’s applying what they learned or contacting support.

Here’s an example:

You are a professional corporate video trainer. I need you to create a clear and compelling “How-To” video outline on [INSERT TOPIC] that can be used for both internal (staff training) and external (customer-facing) purposes.

Please include the following in the outline:

Video Objective: What the viewer should learn, solve, or achieve

Target Audience: Internal (e.g. new employees, support team) or external (e.g. new users, prospects).

Tools or Resources Required: Any platforms, software, or materials needed to follow along.

Step-by-Step Breakdown: Organized sections with time estimates and clear instructional flow.

Visual Aids or Demo Cues: Suggestions for on-screen visuals like screen recordings, diagrams, or real-world examples.

Final Recap or Action Steps: Summarize key points and offer next steps or links to further help

Make sure the video outline is practical, engaging, and suitable for a professional environment, while still accessible and helpful to an external audience.
