Meta Platforms is planning to launch a standalone app for its Meta AI chatbot in a bid to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT, CNBC reported, and also plans to test a paid subscription version.
Launching a separate app would put Meta on a level playing field with its rivals in artificial intelligence. Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and XAI have each released apps for their AI chatbots. Google also integrates its Gemini chatbot in products such as Gmail.
Meta has so far relied on putting its Meta AI into its social media apps, but creating a standalone app could increase the chatbot's usage. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said he expects Meta AI to be the "leading AI assistant."
A new Meta AI app may not be the only new app Meta introduces this year. The Information reported on Wednesday that Instagram was considering launching an app for its short-form video feature Reels.
