What is Meta AI Assistant?

Meta AI Assistant is an artificial intelligence tool built into Meta's messaging and social apps, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. It runs on Meta's Llama language models and allows you to have conversations, ask questions, and get help without leaving the apps you already use. The assistant can help with writing, answering questions, brainstorming ideas, and general information requests. Since it's integrated directly into platforms you likely use daily, there's no need to switch between apps or sign up for a separate service. It's available on a freemium basis, meaning basic access is free to all users.
