Is this list of prompts available worldwide? I mean are there restrictions to certain regions?

I am not sure about that. I would think they should work in countries where Meta AI. Is available.
If anyone is outside of the U.S. could test some of these and let us know?

It’s Meta AI, so not worldwide at all, which is something I’m still a bit annoyed at, seriously, get your act together meta, this is kind of disappointing.

That's an impressive list.

The glasses don't seem to have a good idea about what places are actually nearby. I think it believes I am in the middle of town, whereas I am in a village. I asked it for somewhere I could walk to an dit suggested a park which is a good drive away and ignored all the places that were actually near. When we were out, mrs grieves stopped the car outside a shop. So I asked what shops were nearby and it mentioned a few shops in town, completely ignoring the one we were parked outside. It did get a nearby, assuming it was the same Red Lion. I asked it for a nearby garden centre and it suggested one that was a much longer drive away than another. The nearby shops were ones I had not heard of.

I must be hearing things because I could swear when it was telling me these things it would say the name of the shop, where it was located and the postcode. All seemed right except I'm sure it said "Ontario" on the end. I can't see this in the activity feed in the app so I think it must have been something else.

I have noticed that if you ask "where am I?" it will say the nearest town, but you can ask for it to be more exact. Sometimes it works well. One time it read me the longitude and latitude which didn't help a lot.

This does have the potential to be pretty useful, but don't think I will be uninstalling voice vista just yet.
