Integration with Meta accounts, Google Workspace and ad tools lets the app automate creator and small‑business tasks under Meta’s model‑training data policy.

Overview

  • Meta released a native macOS beta of Meta AI, a version 1.0 beta app that runs on Apple silicon and requires macOS 15 or later.
  • The desktop app adds Mac features including a Quick Invoke shortcut (Option‑Space) and system‑wide dictation so the assistant can type or be summoned inside any app.
  • Users can share a single window via screen capture to give the assistant on‑screen context; this requires macOS screen‑recording and accessibility permissions and does not grant remote control.
  • Meta positions the tool for creators and small businesses with direct links to Facebook and Instagram accounts and optional Google Workspace access for professional accounts to automate posts, ads, reports and documents.
  • The beta is free but Meta is testing usage limits on intensive features with Meta One subscriptions to raise limits, and Meta’s privacy policy says interactions and shared Meta content can be used to train its models.
