Meta plans to release an app for its AI assistant Meta AI in order to compete with AI-powered bots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini.
CNBCreports that Meta could launch its own Meta AI app in the next quarter (April-June). Meta AI is only available via Meta’s apps and website, including Facebook and WhatsApp. CNBC reports that Meta plans to test out a paid subscription for Meta AI, which will add unspecified features to the assistant. The publication was unable to determine the price.
Meta AI is part of Meta’s multi-pronged approach to becoming a dominant force within the AI space. Meta AI has over 700,000,000 active monthly users. The company has aggressively released “open models” like Llama which it believes can foster an ecosystem that rivals OpenAI’s.
Meta will host its first AI-focused developer’s conference, LlamaCon in late April.
