Meta Launches Standalone AI App, Hopes It Will Compete With ChatGPT
Briefly

Meta has unveiled its new standalone AI app, called Meta AI, as a direct competitor to established tools like ChatGPT and others. However, the app enters a market where the Meta brand is struggling following setbacks with its metaverse initiative. According to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, the app aims to leverage the company's vast data to create personalized user experiences. Despite the potential benefits, concerns about privacy and data sharing loom large, particularly as users may be wary of how much personal information is utilized for advertising purposes.
"Meta AI is designed to be your personal AI that means, first, it's designed around voice conversations," says Mark Zuckerberg in an Instagram video.
Meta is trying to sell people on the idea that Meta AI will be superior to apps like ChatGPT because the company's deep trove of data on us all means it already knows what you like.
Meta AI features a Discovery feed where users can opt to share queries they make to the chatbot with their friends, indicating Meta's focus on user engagement.
The standalone Meta AI app is launched in hopes that users will embrace it like they do ChatGPT, despite the tarnished brand reputation.
