Meta today officially launched Meta AI in Hong Kong, allowing users to access this new technology through the Meta AI app and the meta.ai website. In the future, Meta AI will be rolled out across Meta's suite of applications, including Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp.
Meta AI Features Overview
Meta AI is powered by Muse Spark and is the first model developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs specifically for Meta products. This intelligent assistant not only provides quick answers to user queries but also assists with more complex tasks.
The main features of Meta AI include:
- Using Images Instead of Typing: Users can take photos of foreign language menus, products of interest, or market produce, and Meta AI will identify and understand the content, adding labels and annotations to the images so users can clearly understand the referenced items.
- Comprehensive Answers Through Thought Modes: For more complex questions, Meta AI can deploy multiple agents to handle tasks simultaneously, providing answers from different perspectives. For example, when planning a trip, one agent can draft an itinerary, another can compare transportation options, and a third can find the best local attractions, allowing users to receive better answers without waiting.
- Asking About Matters of Concern: Whether it's health issues, homework problems, or creative projects, Meta AI will gather information from the internet and publicly shared content on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads to provide more relevant and timely answers.
Future Outlook
With the launch of Meta AI in Hong Kong, Meta will focus on integrating the product into users' daily lives, providing a more practical, personalized, and natural experience, including a flexible understanding of local Hong Kong culture, Cantonese language, and lifestyle context. Meta will also continuously develop new features and improvements based on community feedback.
