Meta is allegedly creating a standalone application for its AI chatbot, as initially reported by CNBC and corroborated by The Verge. CNBC reports that the app may debut in the second quarter of this year, aligning with other AI-centric applications like as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot.
Although Meta’s AI chatbot is now embedded into Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp, a standalone application might extend its accessibility to those outside these platforms. Similar to its rivals, Meta AI is capable of answering enquiries, generating images, editing photographs, and performing additional tasks. It recently acquired a “memory” capability to improve recommendations.
A CNBC report claims Meta is developing a stand-alone app for its AI chatbot; The Verge has also confirmed this project. Anticipated to debut in the second quarter of this year, the software will join others driven by artificial intelligence including Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Though it is now included into Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp, a standalone app might let Meta’s AI chatbot access consumers outside of these networks. Like its competitors, meta artificial intelligence can generate images, answer queries, edit photos, and more. It merely added a “memory” function to make its recommendations better.
Meta has become more aggressive in the AI space recently; CEO Mark Zuckerberg has revealed plans to commit up to $65 billion to forward the company’s AI projects. Meta also plans to have a focused AI event on April 29th.
