Facebook@Meta Newsroom //
Meta has launched its first dedicated AI application, directly challenging ChatGPT in the burgeoning AI assistant market. The Meta AI app, built on the Llama 4 large language model (LLM), aims to offer users a more personalized AI experience. The application is designed to learn user preferences, remember context from previous interactions, and provide seamless voice-based conversations, setting it apart from competitors. This move is a significant step in Meta's strategy to establish itself as a major player in the AI landscape, offering a direct path to its generative AI models.

The new Meta AI app features a 'Discover' feed, a social component allowing users to explore how others are utilizing AI and share their own AI-generated creations. The app also replaces Meta View as the companion application for Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, enabling a fluid experience across glasses, mobile, and desktop platforms. Users will be able to initiate conversations on one device and continue them seamlessly on another. To use the application, a Meta products account is required, though users can sign in with their existing Facebook or Instagram profiles.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasized that the app is designed to be a user’s personal AI, highlighting the ability to engage in voice conversations. The app begins with basic information about a user's interests, evolving over time to incorporate more detailed knowledge about the user and their network. The launch of the Meta AI app comes as other companies are also developing their AI models, seeking to demonstrate the power and flexibility of its in-house Llama 4 models to both consumers and third-party software developers.
