Meet Meta AI: Your New AI-Powered Sidekick, Now in a Standalone App and Beyond

Imagine having a personal assistant that lives in your pocket, your glasses, and your favorite social apps—one that talks, sees, thinks, and even predicts your next move. That’s Meta AI, Meta’s all-in-one artificial intelligence platform first embedded in Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. In 2025, Meta unveils a standalone Meta AI app and a host of cutting-edge updates that push its capabilities into new frontiers.

Llama 4: The Brain Behind Meta AI

Meta’s flagship Llama 4 series is now the powerhouse fueling every Meta AI interaction. It comes in three tailored variants:

  • Scout: A lightweight model optimized for on-device speed and efficiency.
  • Maverick: A memory-rich engine handling up to 1 million tokens for long-form comprehension.
  • Behemoth: A 288 billion-parameter titan currently in training for ultimate scale.

These models deliver faster, more accurate responses across domains, from coding help to creative storytelling.

Meta AI App: Your Voice-First Companion

In early 2025, Meta launched its dedicated Meta AI app for Android and iOS—no Facebook or Messenger login required. Key features include:

  • Natural Voice Interaction: Full-duplex speech lets you converse in real time, ask multi-turn questions, and get instant, context-aware answers.
  • Discover Feed: A TikTok-style scroll of AI-generated tips, prompts, and community showcases to spark your creativity.
  • Image Generation & Editing: Turn text or voice prompts into custom visuals, then refine or remix them on the fly.

The app is in public beta, and Meta continues to collect feedback for an even richer experience.

Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses: See AI in the World Around You

Meta’s partnership with Ray-Ban brings AI to your eyewear. The upgraded Meta Smart Glasses now include:

  • AI-Powered Real-Time Awareness: Point at a landmark or product, ask “What’s that?” and get live info layered over your view.
  • Call a Volunteer: Visually impaired users can summon trained helpers for context and guidance via a live video link.

This hands-free integration transforms everyday life—from checking ingredient lists to navigating unfamiliar streets—into an AI-augmented adventure.

Llama for Startups & Advantage+ AI: Powering Innovation and Ads

Meta isn’t stopping at consumer apps. Two enterprise programs aim to democratize AI:

  • Llama for Startups: Early-stage companies gain access to Llama 4, dedicated engineering support, and possible grants to accelerate their AI products.
  • Advantage+ AI Tool: A next-gen advertising solution that auto-optimizes creative, placement, and bidding using real-time performance data.

Meta also introduced an Opportunity Score—a predictive metric that analyzes content, audience, and budget to forecast ad campaign success and ROI.
