Meta has unveiled the first version of its new Meta AI app, built with the advanced Llama 4 model, signifying a major step in personalizing AI interactions. This app allows users to interact with an AI assistant designed around voice conversations, complementing the existing Meta AI functionalities used daily across WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger. The initiative aims to provide a seamless and more personalized experience as users engage with their assistant.
The Meta AI app is designed to become familiar with users over time, adapting its responses to be ever more relevant and helpful. It allows for natural interactions both in voice and text formats, significantly enhancing user experience. It integrates features from other Meta AI tools, including image generation and editing, enabling users to achieve a range of tasks via simple conversation.
Voice communication with AI is not new, but improvements made with Llama 4 have enhanced the conversational quality of responses. The app features a voice demo that employs full-duplex speech technology, allowing for more natural dialogue. Though currently limited to the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, the app encourages users to provide feedback to refine the experience.
The app promises to facilitate users in solving everyday problems and getting recommendations through an intuitive interface. Users may set preferences for the types of information Meta AI remembers about them, thus allowing for increasingly personalized interactions. Additionally, a Discover feed will showcase how others are leveraging AI, providing inspiration and community engagement opportunities.
Meta AI will be accessible across various Meta products, seamlessly connecting the experience across devices. This includes the newly merged functionality with Ray-Ban Meta glasses, enabling users to converse with their AI through glasses and continue interactions on their mobile or web applications. The continuity of experience is designed to foster easier engagement with the AI assistant across different contexts.
Alongside the app launch, the web interface for Meta AI has been upgraded. This includes voice interactivity and enhancements like a refined image generation experience suitable for comprehensive workflows on larger screens. Additionally, features such as a rich document editor are being tested to broaden the utility of the AI.
Prioritizing user control, the app allows customization of the voice interaction settings, enabling a hands-free experience. Whether you’re multitasking or on the go, starting a conversation with Meta AI can be done with an intuitive touch. Users can download the Meta AI app today on both iOS and Android devices.
