Meta has launched a separate AI app to compete with ChatGPT

Meta has launched a new standalone app with artificial intelligence features, continuing its integration of Meta AI into WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger. The app was unveiled at the LlamaCon 2025 event, and its features resemble those of ChatGPT and other AI assistants.

A key feature of the app is its ability to provide personalized responses using user profile data and their activity across Meta products. Currently, these features are available only in the United States and Canada. The app allows users to share information that Meta will remember for future conversations. For example, if you mention a lactose allergy, the AI will take this into account when making recommendations.

The app also includes a Discover section where users can share their AI-related queries and ideas with friends. In this section, users can publish results of their interactions with AI, such as emoji-based descriptions.

Meta aims to leverage years of accumulated user data to improve the effectiveness of its AI products, while also warning about the potential use of this data for advertising. Despite the app's capabilities, users should be mindful of the risks associated with sharing personal information.
