Meta has introduced a new AI app powered by its Llama 4 model, aiming to make AI interaction more conversational and personal. According to Meta, this first version focuses on voice-led conversations and integrates with its broader platform ecosystem, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and Messenger.
Meta AI app offers conversational voice features and personalization
The newly launched Meta AI app brings the company’s assistant to a dedicated platform, built with the Llama 4 model. What sets it apart is its ability to hold voice conversations that feel natural, thanks to full-duplex speech technology. This means the AI doesn’t just read responses aloud but speaks them directly, generating responses in real time. Available currently in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, the app also includes image generation and editing via voice or text prompts.
The app introduces a Discover feed where users can explore and remix prompt ideas, see what others are doing with AI, and optionally share their own experiences. Voice features come with controls for transparency, including visible microphone indicators and a toggle for the “Ready to talk” mode.
Beyond smartphones, Meta AI is expanding to desktops and Ray-Ban Meta glasses. The app replaces the Meta View companion app for glasses in certain countries, enabling a smooth transition between hardware and app-based interactions. Users can start conversations on the glasses and continue them later on the app or web.
The web version includes voice functionality, a revamped image creation tool, and a document editor that can export as PDFs or analyze uploaded files. Meta AI leverages your data from connected Facebook and Instagram accounts to offer more relevant, personalized responses—available currently in the US and Canada.
With this release, Meta is positioning itself more directly against ChatGPT and Google Gemini in the race to deliver smarter, more intuitive AI assistants.
