Meta prepares catalog in the app and curated on Ray-Ban Display. Understand submission readiness, assets, and metrics without promising general availability.
Direct answer
Meta has documented two discovery surfaces for AI eyewear experiences: a catalog in the Meta AI app to manage integrations and Explore in Meta Ray-Ban Display to add select web apps. Distribution begins in a curated manner and the company also promises to publicize the submission process widely. Developers can build and test in Developer Mode, but should not confuse showcase or submission of materials with public approval. Preparation includes intellectual property ownership, stable URL, video, thumbnail, short description, category, and supported support.
Discovery starts to happen in the context
Finding and adding an experience within your own ecosystem reduces steps. The presentation page needs to explain value in a few seconds.
Curation is not automatic publishing
Submitting a form or being tested does not guarantee a catalog. Timeline, criteria and approval must be communicated without promises.
Small assets need to be readable
Thumbnail, name and short description carry the decision. Simple shapes, high contrast, and specific benefit work better than excessive detail.
Operation starts after installation
URL, authentication, privacy, support and compatibility remain the responsibility of the developer. Metrics should separate viewing, adding, and recurring use.
Nexus Reading
Prepare a distribution package before wide open: identity, rights, video, thumbnail, description, policy, support, telemetry, and an initial flow that delivers value immediately.
