Meta has launched the Meta AI app, a standalone AI assistant designed to compete with ChatGPT. This marks Meta's initial step in building a more personalized AI experience for its users. The app is built with Llama 4, a model Meta touts as more cost-efficient than its competitors. Users can access Meta AI through voice conversations and interactions will be personalized over time as the AI learns user preferences and contexts across Meta's various apps.

The Meta AI app includes a Discover feed, enabling users to share and explore how others are utilizing AI. It also replaces Meta View as the companion app for Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, allowing for seamless conversations across glasses, mobile app, and desktop interfaces. According to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the app is designed to be a personal AI, starting with basic context about user interests and evolving to incorporate more comprehensive knowledge from across Meta's platforms.

With the introduction of the Meta AI app, Meta aims to provide a direct path to its generative AI models for its users, similar to the approach taken by OpenAI with ChatGPT. The release comes as OpenAI stands as a leader of straight-to-user AI through its ChatGPT assistant that is regularly updated with new capabilities. Zuckerberg noted that a billion people are already using Meta AI across Meta's apps.
