Unveiling the Meta AI App: Your New Gateway to an AI Assistant
The latest innovation from Meta is the launch of the Meta AI app, which is powered by Llama 4. This marks the beginning of a journey toward creating a more personal AI experience. Every day, users around the globe engage with Meta AI across platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger. Now, there’s a standalone app for those who prefer to interact through voice conversations with Meta AI. This initial version is aimed at getting user feedback to enhance the product.
Chatting with Meta AI
While voice interaction with AI isn’t a new concept, the Llama 4 model brings refined and more relevant responses, creating a more conversational feel. The app also integrates image generation and editing features, enabling users to perform these tasks through voice or text. We have included a voice demo using full-duplex speech technology. This enables a more interactive voice experience trained specifically for conversational dialogue. Though it doesn’t provide real-time web access, it offers users an early glimpse into future capabilities. Users might encounter occasional technical issues as we continue to improve the experience.
Voice features are currently available in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. For guidance on managing your Meta AI experience and switching between different modes, visit our help center.
Smart Assistance at Your Fingertips
Meta AI employs the Llama 4 model to assist you with everyday questions, helping you navigate challenges and understand your surroundings. With its capabilities to search the web, it can provide recommendations and dive deep into topics while keeping you connected with friends and family. We also offer conversation starters for those looking to explore further with the app.
Years of experience in personalizing user interactions on our platforms have been channeled into making Meta AI more tailored to your needs. Users can instruct Meta AI to remember personal interests, such as travel or language learning. Additionally, it can gather important contextual details to provide more relevant answers based on the information users choose to share within Meta platforms. Personalized responses are currently available to users in the United States and Canada. When linking Facebook and Instagram accounts under the same Accounts Center, the AI can tap into both platforms to enhance its personalized offerings.
The Meta AI app features a Discover feed, enabling you to explore how others utilize AI. Users can view popular prompts or adapt them for their own use. And importantly, you retain control over what gets shared to your feed.
Access Across Devices
Meta AI is integrated into all Meta products, making it easily accessible on a variety of devices. Whether you’re conversing with family on Facebook, messaging friends through WhatsApp or Messenger, engaging on Instagram, or using Ray-Ban Meta glasses, the AI is there whenever needed.
The Ray-Ban Meta glasses represent a cutting-edge hardware development in this AI era. By combining the Meta AI app with the Meta View companion app, users can switch between interacting with the AI on their glasses and the app or web. You can start a conversation on your glasses and seamlessly continue it in the app or on the web, making it consistent and user-friendly. Existing Meta View users can manage their AI glasses directly from the Meta AI app following the update, as all paired devices and settings will transfer automatically.
Enhanced Web Experience
The web version of the Meta AI app has been upgraded to feature voice interactions and a Discover feed aligned with the app. The aim is to provide a seamless experience across the Meta AI app, AI glasses, and the web, ensuring that your AI interaction is accessible wherever you are.
The web interface is designed for larger screens and desktop use, featuring an improved image generation system with various presets. We’re also testing a document editor in select countries for generating and exporting text and image documents as PDFs, along with the new capability to import existing documents for analysis.
Your Experience, Your Control
Voice interaction is the most intuitive way to engage with Meta AI. The app is tailored for easy conversations with just a button press, even while multitasking. If you prefer to use voice by default, you can enable the Ready to talk feature in your settings.
