Meta is actively expanding the capabilities of its standalone Meta AI app, introducing new features focused on enhanced personalization and functionality. The company is developing a "Discover AIs" tab, which could serve as a hub for users to explore and interact with various AI assistants, potentially including third-party or specialized models. This aligns with Meta’s broader strategy to integrate personalized AI agents across its apps and hardware. Meta launched a dedicated Meta AI app powered by Llama 4 that focuses on offering more natural voice conversations and can leverage user data from Facebook and Instagram to provide tailored responses.
Meta is also testing a "reasoning" mode, suggesting the company aims to provide more transparent and advanced explanations in its AI assistant's responses. While the exact implementation remains unclear, the feature could emphasize structured logic or chain-of-thought capabilities, similar to developments in models from OpenAI and Google DeepMind. This would give users greater insight into how the AI derives its answers, potentially boosting trust and utility for complex queries.
Further enhancing user experience, Meta is working on new voice settings, including "Focus on my voice" and "Welcome message." "Focus on my voice" could improve the AI's ability to isolate and respond to the primary user's speech in environments with multiple speakers. The "Welcome message" feature might offer a customizable greeting or onboarding experience when the assistant is activated. These features are particularly relevant for Meta’s hardware ambitions, such as its Ray-Ban smart glasses and future AR devices, where voice interaction plays a critical role. To ensure privacy, Meta is also developing Private Processing for AI tools on WhatsApp, allowing users to leverage AI in a secure way.
