What can I do with "Hey Memo"?

Updated over 2 months ago

“Hey Memo” lets you control your glasses and get quick help hands-free with natural voice commands.

You can use it to capture moments, ask questions, and save simple memories, without reaching for your phone.

Control your glasses

Photos

  • “Snap a picture.”

  • “Take a photo.”

Videos

  • “Start recording.”

  • “Take a video.”

You can stop a video recording by waiting for the default duration (30s / 60s / 3min) or by pressing the Capture Button to end it early.

Note: Memo can’t be awakened while recording.

Music & volume

  • “Play music.”

  • “Pause music.”

  • “Next song.”

  • “Volume up.”

  • “Volume down.”

Tip: You can control playback (play/pause, next, volume), but you can’t request a specific song by voice yet. You can also use the buttons and Media Crown for the same controls.

Ask Memo questions

Weather

  • “What’s the weather today?”

  • “Will it rain this afternoon?”

News & summaries

  • “Any tech news?”

  • “Summarize today’s headlines.”

General Q&A

  • “Why is the sky blue?”

  • “Explain quantum computing in simple words.”

  • “What’s the difference between OLED and LCD?”

Ask Memo to understand what you’re seeing

You can ask Memo to use the camera to help answer questions based on an image.

Examples:

  • “What is this?”

  • “Read this label.”

  • “What does this sign mean?”

  • “Summarize what’s in this picture.”

Use Memo as a lightweight memory helper

You can ask Memo to remember simple facts for you and recall them later.

Save

  • “Remember my dog’s name is Max.”

  • “Remember my flight is tomorrow at 9 AM.”

  • “Remember this: I parked on level B2.”

Recall

  • “What did I tell you about Max?”

  • “What did I say about my flight?”

What Memo can’t do yet

We want to be clear about the boundaries so you know what to expect.

Navigation & maps

  • Memo can search the web for places or general info, but it cannot open maps or plan a turn-by-turn route for you yet.

    • Example: You can ask “Find coffee shops nearby,” but Memo won’t generate a full driving/walking route inside a map app.

Control other apps

  • Memo can’t directly open or control other apps (for example, Spotify, YouTube, or your messaging apps) at the moment.

We’re actively expanding integrations so you can do more with voice—such as controlling music services. Stay tuned.
