Snap targets enterprises with Salesforce, Nvidia AI tools for augmented-reality glasses
On Wednesday, Sept 16, 2026, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel announced partnerships with Nvidia, Amazon Web Services, and Salesforce to pivot its $2,195 Specs augmented reality glasses toward enterprise markets.
Snap originally unveiled the glasses in June as a consumer device, shifting strategy after rivals like Microsoft and Meta struggled to turn augmented-reality hardware into mainstream successes.
Alongside the hardware pivot, Snap introduced 'Specs Intelligence' on Wednesday, an 'anticipatory AI service' for iOS that connects personal accounts to manage tasks and organize information into specific 'corners'.
Enterprise capabilities include Salesforce's Agentforce integration for automating tasks and Nvidia's AI, which helps workers interpret visual environments and access company data hands-free.
Regarding privacy, Spiegel noted Snap will not use personal content to train AI models or serve ads, and the company plans to offer free tiers for the service.
Evan Spiegel presented his computer glasses "Specs" on Wednesday. For eleven years he defended them against all resistances. The bet behind it is less crazy than it looks.
