What is Meta AI?

Meta AI is the assistant embedded across Meta's apps, which makes it the chatbot many people already have in their pocket. Inside WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger you can ask questions, settle group-chat debates, generate images and get recommendations without leaving the conversation. A standalone website and app offer the same assistant with voice chat and a personalised feed of things it can do.

It runs on Meta's Llama models and leans into social, visual use: imagine-style image generation, animated pictures and playful editing are front and centre. There is no subscription and no usage meter for normal chatting, which is its biggest draw. Depth of reasoning and long-document work lag behind specialist rivals, but for quick answers inside the apps you already use, nothing is closer to hand.
