NormWalk is a hands-free site assistant built on Meta AI glasses. On a construction site, questions come up on the spot: is this wall ready, was this door approved, what did we agree with the contractor? The answers exist, but they are buried in safety plans, drawings, specifications, spreadsheets, emails and meeting notes back at the office. Nobody can search all of that while standing in front of a wall, so checks get delayed, skipped or done from memory. With NormWalk, the inspector looks and asks. The glasses capture a photo and the spoken question, and our phone app sends both to the Brain, the project's memory. How it works: - Learn: every project document (PDF, markdown, CSV, emails, drawings) is stored twice, as a knowledge graph that links facts together and as a searchable text index. Muse describes floor plans and drawings in text so they can be searched too. - Recognise: DINOv2 runs on our own CPU and compares the photo with 3 to 5 reference photos per item, narrowing it down to the three most likely items with no training. Muse then confirms which one is in view. - Search: the question and the recognised item query both memories at once, only within the current project. - Verify: a fact is kept only if it points to a real document from that project. No source, no fact, nothing invented. - Answer: Muse gathers the related documents and everything the Brain found, then writes one clear answer of at most two sentences, spoken back on the spot. In our simulated site inspection, on the unrenovated floor of our own building, the inspector asked whether a wall was ready for the fire inspection. NormWalk answered no: open holes were still visible, while the safety plan and a project email required every hole to be sealed with EI 60 fire-stopping. The answer came from the project's own documents, and the reason came with it. Why Meta's models: DINOv2 keeps recognition fast, cheap and local, so the expensive model only sees one photo and a short list of candidates. Muse does every step that needs real understanding: reading drawings, confirming the item and turning raw facts into an answer someone can act on. NormWalk is not a fire-safety checker. It is a flexible assistant: give the Brain other documents and it becomes an assistant for facility maintenance, insurance claims, industrial plants or field service. Construction is our first field because many of Deuse's clients work in it. This is step one. Next, the glasses will stream the whole visit, and the assistant will answer when asked and speak up on its own when it sees something the documents say matters, learning from every visit.
