Meta AI rolls out several enhancements across apps and websites with its newest Llama 3

Alongside Meta’s debut of its new AI model Llama 3, the company yesterday released a new version of its AI assistant, Meta AI, which arrived for apps across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger. The company also added Meta AI to its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, and made its rival to ChatGPT accessible through a new standalone website.

Meta AI, which first debuted in September, also received a number of updates including ways to search for real-time information through integrations with Google and Bing. According to Meta, the chatbot can be used for everything from planning meals and studying for tests to generating content through images and animations. Other examples include planning trips, organizing events, brainstorming ideas for a new apartment and writing work emails. The capabilities come just days after the privacy-focused startup Brave also added new generative AI search features for its browser.

The ways Meta AI is integrated varies for each app. On apps like Messenger and WhatsApp, users can ask the chatbot questions and receive answers within a conversation or chat with it directly. On Facebook, it’ll show up within a user’s feed and provide info about videos, photos and posts.
