Meta Corporation is expected to launch a standalone app featuring a chatbot powered by artificial intelligence, known as Meta AI, according to CNBC citing sources.



The Meta AI chatbot was introduced in September 2023. In contrast to competitors like OpenAI and Perplexity AI, Meta presently permits its AI to be accessed solely through its website and other applications, including Facebook and WhatsApp.

“Meta AI will shortly join the ranks of the company's standalone social networking applications like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp,” says the company. Meta plans to launch an independent Meta AI app in the second quarter (2025).

The company plans to trial a paid subscription service for Meta AI.
