Meta AI is finally coming to Europe with some limitations

Meta has announced the launch of its AI chatbot across Europe this week. The AI helper will be available on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger in 41 European countries and 21 overseas territories.

Meta AI debuted in the United States in 2023, but the business halted a planned rollout in Europe because to regulatory issues. Meta's AI suite of features provides customers with a variety of skills, but the text-based assistant is now only available in six European languages. The corporation stated that it intends to "find parity with the US" and increase its AI offering over time.

No more hopping from tab to tab to find the information or content you need! Meta AI will now make it easier to discover content that is relevant to you and your interests. With an advanced understanding of what you're looking for, you can now use Meta AI to generate results across a range of content – from reels or posts from your friends and followers. Planning a holiday to Canada and need some inspiration? Simply type "show me Vancouver Island content" and kickstart your wanderlust.

Our Meta AI chat feature will also include access to information from the web, making it an easy and efficient way to get the information you need all in one place – with added context and conversation.

The AI chatbot can also be accessed by typing "@MetaAI" in group chats, beginning with WhatsApp. Meta said the tool will soon be available in Messenger and Instagram Direct Messaging.

Late last year, Meta added some of the functions to its Ray-Ban smart glasses, including live translation and AI. Soon, the business intends to develop a standalone AI software to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Microsoft's Copilot.

While Meta AI will remain free, Meta plans to test a commercial membership service with more advanced capabilities.
