Meta AI is Meta's conversational AI assistant, powered by the Llama 4 family and deployed across Meta's entire platform ecosystem — WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and Threads. Unlike standalone AI assistants, Meta AI is embedded directly into the apps that billions of users already use daily, appearing in search bars, group chats, and post feeds without requiring a separate app or subscription.
The Muse Spark model, which powers the current version of Meta AI, is designed for natural conversational behavior. It supports mid-conversation interruptions — users can cut off a response and redirect the conversation without losing context — and handles topic switching and language mixing fluidly, including switching between languages in the same conversation without explicit instruction.
Live AI is a camera-based feature that enables real-time visual question answering. Users point their device camera at an object, scene, text, or product and ask Meta AI questions about what it sees. The feature works in real time without requiring a screenshot or upload step, enabling use cases like reading labels in a store, identifying plants, or understanding signage in a foreign language.
Side chats in group conversations give users a private channel to ask Meta AI questions that are grounded in the ongoing group discussion — for example, asking for a summary of what was decided, or getting a recommendation based on a destination the group is debating — without posting the AI's response to the whole group.
Meta AI is deployed across all major Meta platforms in the search bar, in group and individual chats, and in the feed. Hatch, an internal AI agent, is in testing for more agentic tasks. Agentic shopping features are planned for Instagram, enabling users to get product recommendations and complete purchases through Meta AI within the app.
Meta AI is best for users already active on Meta platforms who want an AI assistant integrated into their existing communication and social media apps, with no additional app or subscription required.
