Meta AI
Your upgraded personal AI assistant, deeply integrated into Meta’s ecosystem
What is Meta AI?
Meta AI is a consumer-facing AI assistant built into Meta’s core platforms—Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger—as well as a stand‑alone app and companion for smart glasses and web. Launched in September 2023, it's powered by Meta's Llama family of open‑source large language models and, more recently, the proprietary Muse Spark model in 2026. The assistant supports multimodal inputs (text, images, voice, files) and outputs conversational responses, creative content, shopping suggestions, and real‑time information depending on context. Its integration across billions of users gives it vast reach, and its open‑model roots allow flexibility for developers and researchers.
