Meta AI was globally announced this June 2024, and presented tons of new features for all Meta users. These included text and image interactive responses based on Meta’s newer Llama 3.1 model.

From getting help for an assignment or homework to using the imagine function to create anything vivid, be it realistic or imaginary, Meta AI’s features have become an instant hit since launch.
