THE SIMPLE VERSION
What is Meta AI?
Meta AI is a personal assistant available on the web, in its own mobile app and in selected Meta products such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger. It can answer questions, search for current information, help with ideas and create or edit images. The exact features depend on your country, language, account and app.
✓ A good fit if you want to…
- Already use WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook
- Want quick questions and creative image help
- Prefer voice and phone-first use
– Choose another tool if you…
- Want the same features in every country
- Do not want AI activity used for personalization
- Need a dedicated research tool with consistent citations
