Snap Introduces a Standalone AI Assistant, Specs Intelligence
Snap announced Specs Intelligence on 16 September 2026 alongside its $2,195 AR glasses, and made it available without them: a limited preview shipped in the Specs iOS app the same day, with a waitlist for early access on iPhone and Mac. We read Snap’s own product page and FAQ, Engadget’s live coverage of Evan Spiegel’s Los Angeles keynote and the hands-on reporting, then set out what the anticipatory design actually commits to, where the privacy promises are strong and where they are untested, and what an IT team should decide before anyone connects a corporate account.
