Meta’s not just playing the AI game—they’re changing it. With the launch of their standalone Meta AI app, they’re tossing the ChatGPT clone playbook out the window. This isn’t your grandma’s chatbot. It’s powered by the slick Llama 4 model, and it’s got a knack for getting personal. Think of it as that friend who actually remembers what you talked about last time (because it does, thanks to your chats and public Meta profiles).
So, what’s the big deal? For starters, the voice tech is next-level. Meta’s experimenting with full-duplex speech tech, making conversations flow like you’re actually talking to someone—not a robot. But here’s where it gets interesting: the social media twist. The Discover feed lets you flaunt your AI’s wittiest comebacks or deepest thoughts with your pals. It’s like social media, but with AI as your wingman (and let’s be honest, sometimes the funniest one in the group).
Got Ray-Ban Meta glasses? The app plays nice with the Meta View companion app, turning your shades into something out of a sci-fi movie. Prefer your laptop? No sweat. The app’s got you covered with cool features like image generation and a document editor that’s actually fun to use.
Right now, the full experience is a U.S. and Canada exclusive. But if you’re in the club, it’s time to get creative—and maybe share a few of those ‘wait, did the AI just say that?’ moments.
