Meta launches the new AI app with voice and social commands

Meta has just announced the launch of a new AI mobile app that combines the company’s efforts in artificial intelligence with advanced voice and social features. 

This initiative reflects Meta’s desire to redefine the way users interact with AI technologies, while simultaneously leveraging its vast social network and user data.  

Meta integrates Llama 4 for a more natural AI experience

Meta has decided to equip its new AI app with the latest generation language model Llama 4. This solution allows for smoother and more natural conversations, similar to those offered by OpenAI or the Gemini model from Google.

The innovative element is the combination of the AI model with an improved vocal mode that allows for direct and intuitive interaction. In other words, users can ask questions or engage in dialogue with the system without necessarily having to type, enjoying coherent and relevant responses.  

The new app does not just respond: Meta has designed its AI assistant to “know” users and offer more useful and personalized answers. For example, the system leverages the information that the user has shared on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, such as the personal profile and the content they have liked or interacted with. This significantly improves the relevance of the answers received.  

Furthermore, the user can explicitly request to store certain details and also has the possibility to delete them at any time, to maintain control over privacy and shared data.  

A social feed dedicated to artificial intelligence

Another fundamental aspect of the new Meta app concerns its social dimension linked to AI. In fact, a feed called “Discover” has been introduced, designed to show how other users are using artificial intelligence.

This space allows users not only to see experiences of other users related to the use of AI, but also to share their own. In this way, Meta transforms the relationship with AI from a purely functional interaction to a more collective and dynamic experience.  

Thanks to this function, it is possible to discover new ways of using artificial intelligence and share one’s experiences, strengthening the sense of community. Furthermore, the feed supports this interactivity, promoting a continuous exchange of ideas and advice.  

The app as a hub for Ray-Ban smart glasses

Meta has announced that the new app will also be the main platform for using its Ray-Ban smart glasses.  

Until now, these smart devices connected through a separate app called Meta View. The new integrated app simplifies the Meta ecosystem, centralizing AI and multimedia functionalities, facilitating the management of smart devices, and enhancing the user experience.  

Meta AI, between innovation and challenges

Meta describes its artificial intelligence as a tool capable of providing more relevant and easy-to-use answers, as well as being closely tied to the social and personal contexts of users.  

However, the growing push of Meta towards AI also involves important issues to consider, especially regarding privacy and the way in which user data is used to keep engagement high and integrate advertising.  

Security Issues and Ethical Behavior of AI

A recent article from the Wall Street Journal highlighted how a previous Meta chatbot was prone to inappropriate responses, including conversations of a sexual nature with users, even if they were minors. This case underscores the delicacy in managing AI systems that interact directly with people of all ages.  

Meta must therefore balance innovation and security, ensuring that the AI assistant is a reliable and safe ally for every type of user.  

The Llamacon event and the look towards the future

The launch of the app took place a few hours before Llamacon, an event focused on artificial intelligence organized by Meta.  

On this occasion, the founder Mark Zuckerberg will share the stage with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi, confirming the strategic importance of technologies like Llama 4 and conversational AI in the digital future.  

However, no specific details have been provided on future updates or further integrations of the app.  

Impact of Meta’s AI app and future prospects

The new AI app by Meta represents a significant step to unite artificial intelligence, voice, and social in a unique and personalized experience.  

The combination of Llama 4, advanced voice functionality, “Discover” social feed, and integration with smart glasses creates an ecosystem that can revolutionize the relationship between users and technology.  

The success of the app will depend on Meta’s ability to balance innovation, privacy, and security, with particular attention to a responsible use of AI.  

For users, this app offers an opportunity to explore new modes of interaction, discovering together how artificial intelligence can become a more human and social daily support.  

Anyone interested in this AI revolution should closely monitor the developments of Meta, in anticipation of further news and potential new tools that will redefine the digital experience in the near future.
