Meta is adding the AI chatbot powered by Llama 3 to the search bar and chat windows in its apps. Here are the details of Meta AI assistant:
Meta's battle with ChatGPT officially begins. Meta AI, Meta's artificial intelligence assistant announced last September, is being placed everywhere on Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook. However, the company supports Meta AI with the newly introduced artificial intelligence model Llama 3. In addition, the company has introduced other new features such as faster image creation and access to web search results.
The Meta AI assistant will now be integrated into the search box of Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Messenger. Meta AI will also appear directly in Facebook's main feed. In addition, it will be possible to chat with Meta AI in the inbox of Meta's apps (Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger). In addition, a standalone website is now available at Meta.ai.
Meta AI first launched in the US last year and is now expanding to more than a dozen countries, including Australia, Canada, Ghana, Jamaica, Malawi, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Pakistan, Singapore, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. However, the language option is still English. CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasises that Meta AI aims to be the smartest AI assistant that people can use freely all over the world.
Meta AI was already able to respond to prompts such as text, code, summarisation or recipe suggestions. Now it can use real-time search results powered by Google and Bing . We have not seen another AI assistant that uses both search engines before.
The company states that it also makes image creation faster. On the image creation side, users will additionally be able to convert the image they create into animation, more precisely GIF. Meta AI's image creation capabilities are also very interesting. It is stated that the artificial intelligence tool changes the image in real time as users type. So, for example, when typing a prompt such as "Street lamp but on the surface of Mars", Meta AI will first show you the street lamp, and as you continue typing, the image will evolve to a street lamp on Mars. In the meantime, the image quality has also been improved.
