Are Meta AI Glasses Worth It for Trades and Home Service Businesses?

I recently decided that I wanted to get the new Meta AI Glasses and it has changed everything about how I work.

I can do so much with these glasses I think that everyone in the trades should have a pair. It frees your hands for phone calls and texts when you are busy doing something, it can make insane quality videos or photos of what you are doing to either save for training purposes or to send to a client, you can ask what you are looking at if you need to source a part, and you can listen to music too!

I have recently been putting together a full report with all the photos and videos I took a of a job and charging a small fee if a client would like me to put it all together and send it to them. A lot of what I do is hidden or in a place where the client won't see so they like knowing the job was done correctly.

I really have no presence on social media and this was my first step into making some content to post and show people what I do is a lot different than my competitors, so making quality videos is a big step for me.

If anyone is thinking about adding these to their toolbox I would highly recommend them.

  • Congrats on taking the first step into creating content for your socials! That's huge.  

    Also, utilizing the glasses for your reports is a great idea. Hands-off, being able to record on command, and perfect for keeping records of your work. 

    Curious to know if there are any others here who use them for their work as well

  • The report idea really caught my attention. For work that happens in areas the customer cannot easily see, photos and videos could add a lot of value and also give the customer more confidence in what was completed. Turning that documentation into a small paid add-on is smart too. Have you had customers take you up on the report yet?

    I have these in my tool kit for walk throughs also. One thing I realized, I turn my head really fast and often haha

    I'm really bad about getting chatty with clients during walk throughs and not taking enough pictures so having them causes me to make sure I get what I need from the site. I recently got a prescription for glasses and they make them for that which is helpful also.
