Meta Unveils Standalone AI Assistant App In Big Tech Push

Meta launches standalone AI assistant app.

What do you do when you’re Mark Zuckerberg and already have AI embedded into Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Messenger?

Easy—launch a standalone app and jump into the AI showdown against OpenAI, Google, and Elon Musk.

Meta just rolled out its new Meta AI app, powered by its beefed-up Llama 4 model.

It’s built to be smart, multilingual, context-savvy, and fast.

Basically, the digital sidekick you didn’t know you needed.

The app even includes a “Discover” feed to see what others are prompting. Feeling curious?

Now you can scroll AI prompts like TikToks.

What’s The Goal?

To make Meta AI the assistant that reaches over a billion people in 2025.

He’s already partway there—Meta AI reportedly hit 700 million monthly users in January.

And with a $65 billion spend on AI this year alone, Meta’s not just talking.

They’re throwing serious silicon at the problem.

Meta plans to start testing paid tiers for the assistant later this year.

So, will this AI earn its keep or just clutter your app drawer?

Either way, the AI arms race is heating up—and Zuck just showed up with Llama muscle.
