向超过 1 万名科技领袖展示你的创新成果的最后一天是 10 月 2 日。现在就预订参展名额吧!
Last day to demo your breakthrough to 10,000+ tech leaders is on Oct 2. Book Exhibit Table Now.** Close ** But when Mayer finally gave me a demo, Dazzle proved it’s taking a different approach. Instead of building context about you from text-heavy apps like email, calendars and shopping histories, Dazzle’s AI assistant gets all its context from a single source: your camera roll.
当 Mayer 最终向我展示 Dazzle 的功能时,我发现这款产品的设计思路与众不同:Dazzle 的人工智能助手并非从电子邮件、日历或购物记录等文本信息中获取关于用户的各种信息,而是完全依赖用户的手机相册中的照片来了解用户的需求。
“I think that photos are an underappreciated source of information,” Mayer said. “You’ll be surprised what we can learn about you and how good a job we can do with your photos.”Mayer argues that if a photo is worth a thousand words, your camera roll is worth millions. By analyzing all the photos stored on your phone, Dazzle claims to understand your hobbies, interests, food and style preferences, how you like to spend their time, and with whom.
“我认为照片是一种被低估的信息来源,”Mayer 说,“你会惊讶于我们能从你的照片中了解到多少关于你的信息,以及我们能多么准确地分析你的喜好。”她认为,如果一张照片的价值相当于千言万语,那么你的手机相册中的所有照片所蕴含的信息价值就相当于‘数百万言万语’了。通过分析用户手机中的所有照片,Dazzle 能够了解用户的兴趣爱好、饮食偏好、生活方式,以及他们喜欢与谁共度时光。
“We understand whether or not you like to ski, where your most recent trip was, what types of things your kids are into,” Mayer said.
Mayer 之所以专注于开发以照片为中心的人工智能助手,其实并不令人意外。她之前的创业公司 Sunshine 在 2024 年推出了一款名为 Shine 的照片分享工具,虽然该产品因设计过时而受到广泛批评,最终未能获得广泛使用并被迫关闭,但 Mayer 表示这个项目确实为她的团队积累了宝贵的技术经验。我非常期待试用 Dazzle——用户可以通过其应用程序或短信来使用这款工具。
It’s no surprise that Mayer has built an assistant centered around photos. Her previous startup, Sunshine, launched an AI-powered photo-sharing tool called Shine in 2024. While that product was widely criticized for its outdated design, failed to attract widespread usage, and eventually shut down, Mayer says it nevertheless built “interesting IP.”I was eager to try Dazzle, which users can use through its app or via text. Dazzle splits its functionality into two core experiences. For immediate tasks, it can scan recent photos to pull details — like populating your calendar from an event flyer, or finding a repair-person after spotting a broken garage door in your camera roll.
Dazzle 的功能主要分为两部分:对于需要立即处理的任务,它可以扫描用户的最新照片并提取相关信息(例如从活动传单中自动填充日历内容;或者在用户发现车库门损坏时帮助寻找维修人员)。Meta 公司在人工智能领域的尝试……真的有效吗?

鉴于市面上有许多工具都能解析图片——比如查找商品购买渠道,或搜索有趣艺术品的相关信息——我更好奇的是 Dazzle 能从我的照片历史中学到什么。
Given that plenty of tools can parse pictures — like looking up where to buy a product, or searching information on an interesting art piece — I was far more curious to test what Dazzle could learn from my photo history.
例如,Mayer 用 Dazzle 来为家庭出游集思广益。她说,通过扫描她的照片,助手推断出她一家热爱密室逃脱,随后推荐了多个她从未听说过的旧金山湾区场所。
For instance, Mayer uses Dazzle to brainstorm family outings. By scanning her photos, she says, the assistant deduced that her family loves escape rooms, and subsequently suggested multiple SF Bay Area locations she’d never heard of.
当我用 Dazzle 测试度假推荐时,它建议了几个地中海景点,很可能捕捉到了我过去去过西班牙和希腊的行程。但它也加入了西西里岛,这让我惊讶,因为我四年前去过那里。经过更多尝试后,我发现它存在盲区——当我问该不该给女儿下个生日买双轮滑鞋时,它没能记住女儿已经会滑轮滑了。
When I tested Dazzle with a request for vacation recommendations, it suggested several Mediterranean spots, likely picking up on my past trips to Spain and Greece. But it also threw in Sicily, which surprised me since I was there four years ago. After some more tinkering, I noticed it has blind spots — it failed to remember my daughter already knows how to roller skate when I asked if I should buy her a pair for her next birthday.
尽管有这些小插曲,但我欣赏 Dazzle 为活动提供的创意,比如推荐街角的陶艺工作室,或托马莱斯湾的生物发光皮划艇之旅。
Despite the hiccups, though, I appreciated Dazzle’s ideas for activities, like suggesting a local pottery studio down the street, or a bioluminescent kayak tour in Tomales Bay.
我相信产品会随时间改进,虽然我还拿不定主意是否会继续使用,但我喜欢它的建议比只知道你日程的通用 AI 助手更具个性化。
I’m sure the product will improve with time, and while I’m undecided on whether I’ll keep using it, I like that its suggestions feel more personal than what you’d get from a generic AI assistant that only knows your calendar.
与此同时,Mayer 主张,鉴于 Instinct 和 Muse 等产品存在安全隐患,用户可能更愿意把照片库交给 AI,而不是授权其访问邮件和消息等敏感数据。
In the meantime, Mayer contends that given security concerns with products like Instinct and Muse, users may feel more comfortable handing over their photo libraries to an AI instead of granting it access to sensitive data like emails and messages.
她强调,Dazzle 将隐私放在首位,并会丢弃 AI 标记为敏感的任何个人信息。
She emphasized that Dazzle prioritizes privacy, and discards any personal information the AI flags as sensitive.
这一波新 AI 助手的涌现让消费者感到振奋。虽然 Dazzle 目前还不如其他产品那样广泛实用,但它展示了一个未来图景:AI 不仅能执行任务,还真正了解你是谁。
This flurry of new AI assistants is an exciting time for consumers. And while Dazzle isn’t as broadly useful as other offerings quite yet, it offers a glimpse of a future in which AI can do more than just execute tasks; it actually knows who you are.
