Meta Platforms Prepares for a New AI Venture

In a bold move to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT, Meta Platforms is set to introduce a standalone AI application in the second quarter. This initiative marks a significant expansion of Meta's digital ecosystem, which already includes giants like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Since its debut in September 2023, the Meta AI chatbot has been positioned as a cutting-edge digital assistant, leveraging generative AI to provide responses and create images based on user prompts across Meta's platforms. In a strategic shift in April, Meta integrated this chatbot to replace the traditional search features in its major applications, signaling a new era of AI-driven interaction.
