Meta is preparing to elevate its artificial intelligence (AI) services to new heights. The company plans to launch its AI chatbot, Meta AI, as a standalone app. Currently, this service is available on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp, but it may soon be launched as an independent app.
When will the new Meta AI app launch?
According to a CNBC report, the standalone Meta AI app could launch by the second quarter (April-June) of 2025. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg aims to make the company a leader in the AI field by the end of 2025. The app's launch will mark Meta's attempt to establish a distinct presence in the AI technology world.
Increasing Competition in the AI Sector: Meta's Major Strategy
Big names like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini already exist in the AI world. Meta is now trying to give its AI chatbot an independent identity. The company is emphasizing making its AI assistant more intelligent, faster, and personalized. This app will be designed to provide a superior user experience by understanding user behavior and needs.
Premium Version of Meta AI Also Launching
Reports suggest a premium version of Meta AI is also coming, offering additional features. Meta is working on a paid subscription model that will provide enhanced AI services to those willing to pay. OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google have already adopted this model, and now Meta is following suit.
Meta to Profit from Meta AI
Meta's chief financial officer, Susan Li, has already indicated that the company wants to develop the AI assistant as a superior customer experience. Furthermore, it will create new revenue streams, which may include features like paid recommendation features.
Mark Zuckerberg's AI Strategy and Future Plans
During the fourth-quarter earnings report in January 2025, Mark Zuckerberg stated that Meta AI will be developed as a highly intelligent and personalized AI assistant, reaching over a billion users globally.
This new Meta AI app will provide users with a better experience for chatting, searching, and other tasks. If the company is able to launch it as planned, it will provide stiff competition to services like ChatGPT and Gemini and give Meta a new identity in the AI sector.
