Thanks Mari Smith for keeping us always in the loop!
If anyone is curious about the NEW Meta AI, check out what Mari has to say :)
Have you tried the shiny new Meta AI?! 🔵
It's a fusion of Meta's text-to-image generator 'Imagine with Meta AI' that came out last year + Meta's own AI assistant that also launched last year and was previously only available in Messenger and Instagram Direct as a chat tool.
📣 NOW, you can simply go to the search bar in Messenger, Instagram Direct, or WhatsApp - or meta.ai on your computer - and interact with this generative AI tool to create images, add animation, and generate ANY kind of text response you want. You can even access Meta AI in feeds under each post. 😳
It's very fast and has probably as many use cases as Open AI's ChatGPT.
What do you think? Will you use Meta AI much? 🤷🏼♀️
👉🏻 You can use Meta AI on both your phone inside all the Meta apps, as well as on desktop at meta.ai.
Meta states, ❝Thanks to our latest advances with Meta Llama 3, we believe Meta AI is now the most intelligent AI assistant you can use for free.❞
Hmm, that's a bold claim, eh?! 😲
✅ You can use Meta AI in FEED, CHATS, SEARCH and more across the Meta apps (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp) to get things done and access real-time information, without having to leave the app you’re using. [Sounds useful, eh?! And yes, there will be an increase of time spent on all Meta apps, I'm sure!]
✅ For example, scrolling through your Facebook Feed, you can tap the prompt under any post to learn more about that topic. Meta states, "So if you see a photo of the northern lights in Iceland, you can ask Meta AI what time of year is best to check out the aurora borealis." The answers are provided inside Messenger as a chat with Meta.ai.
✅ Search results are pulled in real-time from Google and Bing.
✅ And Meta AI’s image generation is now faster, producing images as you type. Start your prompt with 'Imagine' and watch the image appear and morph as you tweak your prompt. [Neato!] And, once you get an image you like, you can hit the animate button to add a bit of movement. Nice and eye-catching.
I thought the Imagine with Meta AI image generator tool was quite decent last year, but with huge room for improvement, including iteration like you can do with DALL-E.
Now, this updated version from Meta is definitely an improvement with iterations, animations, and even real time creation. (But, alas, the human faces and features still need to be way more photorealistic! Lol. 🤪)
Per Meta's announcement...
❝Built with Meta Llama 3, Meta AI is one of the world’s leading AI assistants, already on your phone, in your pocket for free.
And it’s starting to go global with more features. You can use Meta AI on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger to get things done, learn, create and connect with the things that matter to you.
We first announced Meta AI at last year’s Connect, and now, more people around the world can interact with it in more ways than ever before.❞
You might want to follow Meta AI on Facebook (and .ai on Instagram - note the dot).
If you're not seeing Meta AI in your country, it's coming soon!
