A new contender in the AI's World 一 Meta's AI, Meta introduced a free AI assistant today. Back in September, Mark Zuckerberg introduced his AI model, but now it's integrated into the search bar across all of Meta's social media platforms.

On Thursday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that its first AI model has now been integrated into its Instagram search bar, not just in the US, but in more countries as well. In a video message, Zuckerberg also announced that its AI assistant has now been upgraded to the open-sourcing Llama 3 model, which the tech company believes is "Meta AI is now the most intelligent AI assistant that you can freely use".

Although Meta's AI makes its entrance in the AI era as a competitor to Open AI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot, the interesting thing is its integration with Google and Microsoft search Engine for getting real-time information. You can also use AI during the DM's conversation. In the example GIF shared by Meta, sent a prompt during its conversation with "BFFs 4 EVER" to Meta AI "Find a picnic spot with a Sunset view in a SanFarisco". The generated response quickly gets information from Google and is shown to the DM, which the recipient also sees.

We also try some prompt for testing an image generation on instagram. Like, "Generate and image of a laptop where the background is aesthetic and the laptop screen shows a tech website "Tech Bird" from a techbird365.blogspot.com". Although it did not get image from the link but its generates an random image like others AI models generate. We thinks that this is because it is unable to access the external webistes.
