This is the new AI from Meta that seeks to dismantle ChatGPT
Meta is preparing to challenge OpenAI with its own autonomous AI app, seeking to position itself as an alternative to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot.
Mark Zuckerberg's company has already integrated its smart assistant into Facebook and Instagram, but now it's betting on an exclusive platform that will give users a deeper, more interactive experience with AI, according to CNBC and Macrumors.
The move reflects the growing competition in the sector and shows that Meta doesn't want to be left behind in the AI race.
So far, Meta's AI tools have been integrated into its social networks, but the company plans to launch a dedicated app in the second quarter of 2025.
The idea is to offer a more powerful AI assistant that can interact with users without relying on other platforms, in a strategy similar to that already adopted by OpenAI with ChatGPT or Google with Gemini.
Meta AI already allows for advanced search and content creation within Facebook and Instagram, but its scope remains limited compared to other solutions. With this new app, the company seeks to offer a more complete and flexible environment where users can explore the full potential of its artificial intelligence without restrictions.
Zuckerberg has an ambitious goal: to make Meta the standard in AI by the end of the year. To that end, the company is investing in advanced developments that could give its assistant even more advanced capabilities.
Unlike the current integration with social networks, the new app will offer an improved experience for generating text, images, and other generative AI features.
- How will this launch impact the AI market?
Meta’s launch of a standalone app could change the current AI landscape. Currently, OpenAI is leading the way with ChatGPT, while Google and Microsoft have developed their own solutions, Gemini and Copilot, respectively. Meta’s entry with an AI-focused app could pose a new challenge to these tech giants.
In this context, Meta’s strategy of launching an AI-only app is a statement of intent. The company is not only looking to compete with industry leaders but also to create an ecosystem where AI plays a central role in interacting with users.
