As upgrades continue with the AI assistant, notably through the integration of Llama 3, Meta is shaping its scope by introducing new features and expanding the chatbot’s reach.

In Facebook feeds, users will notice a discreet Meta AI logo accompanied by suggested queries, allowing them to inquire about topics within posted content. Moreover, the chatbot is integrated into search functionalities across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger, providing instant responses to user queries, including real-time event updates such as flight bookings and stock market updates. Notably, Meta’s AI utilizes multiple search engines to provide results, offering a unbelievable experience to users without revealing the involvement of AI technology.

Here, users can initiate conversations, seek assistance with tasks like solving math problems or generating content, all without the need to access their social media accounts. This platform is particularly suited for professional settings where users may prefer to keep their interactions separate. Additionally, users have the option to save conversations for future references.
