I tried the new Meta AI app: 3 unexpected features

Meta has spent the better part of a year integrating Meta AI with Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and its other existing services, but hadn't yet launched a standalone experience for Meta AI fans. That all changed yesterday at LlamaCon, the company's inaugural AI developer conference, when the company finally launched the Meta AI app. The new app is built with Meta's Llama 4 model. It's a full-fledged competitor to ChatGPT, which became the fastest-growing app in history after its launch. Already, AI enthusiasts are digging into the app to see what sets it apart from the competition. Per Meta's press release, the big takeaway is personalization.
