Meta adds voice conversations and live AI to its Meta AI app using Muse Spark. Users speak naturally, interrupt, switch topics or languages, generate images, and get real-time camera analysis of surroundings. The model expands to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and Threads with chatbots and mentions. Meta AI ranks fourth on U.S. iPhone App Store free apps.

Meta is powering new experiences inside the Meta AI app with Muse Spark, the model that replaced its Llama models.

Last month, Meta relaunched its AI efforts with Muse Spark. The company first unveiled the work of its rebuilt AI team with the launch of Muse Spark on April 8. Since then, the Meta AI app has stayed near the top of the iPhone App Store, competing with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini apps. Meta AI has topped App Store charts since the Muse Spark launch and is currently the fourth most downloaded free app on the U.S. iPhone App Store charts.

As of today, Meta has detailed several new features being added to the Meta AI app. First, Meta points to voice conversation capabilities powered by Muse Spark. In the Meta AI app, Muse Spark lets you talk naturally with the assistant — interrupt, switch topics, or swap languages, Meta says. As you talk, Meta AI can generate images and pull up recommendations from Reels, maps, and more.

Second, the Meta AI app is gaining a feature previously only offered on Meta AI glasses: live AI. The company is bringing live AI to the app so you can point your camera at the world and ask about what you’re seeing in real time, whether that’s a landmark you’re passing or something you need help with around the house, the company says.

Threads is adding a Meta AI chatbot similar to Grok on X. Beyond the app and glasses, Muse Spark is starting to bring the same intelligence to Meta AI across WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and Threads — in places like search bars, group chats, posts, and more, Meta says.

The company is testing a couple new experiences: side chats that let you tap the Meta AI icon from any group chat to get a quick, private answer grounded in what your group is discussing, and @meta.ai mentions in Threads posts and replies.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
