Meta introduces a new AI App with a Social Media Feed
Meta launched the first version of its Meta AI app. It is a personal AI assistant that includes a Discover feed, similar to a social media feed.
The details
- Meta AI is already available on WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook. The new app is also available as a standalone app and uses Llama 4 as an AI model.
- The Meta AI app supports text conversations, image generation and editing using text or voice. In addition, the assistant has access to the web and can answer daily questions.
- According to Meta, the AI assistant can provide more relevant answers to your questions than other apps by using information you’ve already shared on Meta products. Personalized answers are available in the US and Canada.
- In addition, you can connect your Ray-Ban Meta glasses with the app. Meta merges the previously available Ray-Ban Meta glasses app with the new Meta AI app.
- Like other Meta networks, the app was designed to help people connect with each other. The Discover feed is a place where you can share your experiences with AI. You can share your best prompts and images.
Our thoughts
The Meta AI app competes with other chatbot apps like ChatGPT or Grok. Meta has the advantage of creating a personalized AI assistant by connecting it with other social networks like Facebook and Instagram.
Additionally, the app is designed to work with Ray-Ban Meta glasses so that you can talk through Meta AI with your glasses. Imagine you’re looking at a landmark and want to know more about it, so you can just ask your glasses.
