Show HN: Update to my meta glasses API "Hey Meta send a message to ChatGPT"

This is a browser extension to add custom AI bots to messenger that can be used with the Meta Rayban Smart Glasses or the standalone messenger app.

1. Hey Meta send a photo to my food log: Video Demo

2. Hey Meta send a message to ChatGPT

3. Video Monitoring: Send screenshots of your video calls to your chosen provider (ChatGPT, Claude etc) and then log the output to the log viewer

a) Meta Rayban Smart Glasses (or the standalone messenger app)

b) OpenAI/Perplexity/Claude etc Api Key

c) Alternative Facebook/Messenger account

1. bun install

2. bun run dev:chrome (or brave, firefox)

3. This should build and run the extension and automatically open it

4. Add any api keys you want to use in the extension: the API settings tab has more information on how to get them

Before we setup our extension we're going to trick the Meta Glasses into allowing us to send a message to (nearly) any name e.g: "Hey Meta send a message to ChatGPT".

1. Create a messenger group chat with 2 other facebook accounts (the minimum amount allowed to create a group chat)

2. Remove the account you're not going to use

3. Change the name of the chat

4. Update the group chat photo (for a legit feel)

5. Set a nickname for your alt bot account

6. Go to the Meta view app within the communications section

7. Go to Messenger and disconnect then reconnect your messenger account

I believe this step resyncs all your latest chats and friends which then allows that Meta Glasses to become aware of your newly created group chat to allow for voice commands!

1. On your alt account head to messenger.com or facebook.com/messages then open your newly created group chat

2. Start monitoring the chat

3. With each new message/image request it will send it to your chosen provider (ChatGPT, Claude etc) and then respond to you with the output

4. If enabled: It will then generate an audio clip of that output using OpenAI and send it back to you

All chats can be done via voice commands "Hey Meta send a message to ___" or by simply messaging the group chat.
