Meta Reportedly Developing Standalone AI Chatbot App

The rumored app would expand Meta AI beyond its integration in Facebook and WhatsApp, with potential launch expected in the second quarter of 2025.

Meta is reportedly planning to launch a standalone app for its AI assistant, Meta AI, to compete with tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.
The app is expected to debut in the second quarter of 2025, according to reports citing unnamed sources familiar with the project.
Meta AI currently operates within Meta's existing platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and has over 700 million active monthly users.
The company is also exploring a paid subscription model for Meta AI, which could include additional features, though pricing details remain unclear.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has emphasized making Meta a leader in AI, with significant investments in AI infrastructure and plans for the first-ever AI developer conference, LlamaCon, in late April.
