Meta AI in one minute
Meta AI brings assistance closer to conversations and social content. A question might arise while viewing a post or planning something in a group chat. The interface, underlying model and available actions vary by app, country and account. Chat access does not automatically include every agent feature.
Where can you find Meta AI?
| Environment | What does the integration mean? |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp and Messenger | An assistant within messaging environments; features vary by rollout. |
| Instagram and Facebook | Questions, discovery and creative help around social content. |
| Threads | DM conversations and public @meta.ai replies in supported markets. |
| meta.ai and the Meta AI app | Dedicated interfaces for longer conversations and product features. |
| AI glasses | Spoken assistance and visual context on supported glasses. |
For Threads, Meta confirms mobile DM chat and, from September, public mentions in Japan. That announcement does not establish that every Threads feature is also available on the Dutch web interface. With glasses, distinguish existing Meta AI assistance from the announced arrival of the Muse agent.
From context to an answer or action
Example: you notice a desk lamp in a post and want to know what to consider before buying. Share the available information with Meta AI and ask about criteria such as dimensions and lighting needs. The assistant can explain and suggest; missing product specifications still require a reliable source.
Technically, the experience combines models with context, search and, where available, connected services. Meta has also added current news sources with links. An answer about a product or event should therefore remain verifiable through its sources, rather than merely sounding persuasive.
Actions announced in July include planning, connected email and calendars, and creating presentations in selected markets. This moves towards AI Agents: performing work as well as answering. Access to personal context and permission for an action are separate choices.
Our practical interpretation for marketing: keep product data, public posts and your own website consistent. A social recommendation can introduce someone to a brand, but an automated answer does not replace an accurate product page.
Current models and availability
Meta AI should no longer simply be described as a Llama product. Meta confirmed the move to Muse Spark in 2026; the later actions announcement names Spark 1.1. The newest developer model is now Spark 1.3. This does not prove that every consumer interface uses exactly the same version.
Basic chat rolled out in 41 European countries in 2025, including the EU. The Netherlands and Spain are part of that European rollout. Our 7 October 2026 review does not establish parity between those countries and the US for every media, Threads, glasses or agent feature.
The separate Muse agent is launching in the US on iOS, Android and the web. Its arrival on glasses has been announced. Check the availability of the specific feature, rather than relying on the presence of a Meta AI logo in an app.
