In recent years, AI has become all the rage. While companies like OpenAI, makers of ChatGPT, and Google, creators of Gemini, have all made waves in the artificial intelligence space one has stood out in particular, Meta’s (formerly Facebook) Meta AI.

While other AI creators have largely kept their code private, Meta made their AI somewhat open-source. This move makes the growth and development of an open AI ecosystem more accessible and easier for companies to build powerful AI systems.

But, what is Meta AI and how does it work? Today, we dive in.

Meta AI Assistance

Meta AI is an artificial intelligence chatbot built into Meta platform tools (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger). Within these chats, users can ask the app questions and it will provide them a response. Unlike other chatbots and image generator tools, Meta AI is a free application, however, users do ‘pay’ with their data, time and and attention.
