Meta is rolling out its Meta AI chatbot within Threads' DMs, allowing users to chat privately with the AI assistant, share posts, images, links, and videos, aiming to keep users within its ecosystem and discourage use of third-party assistants. Rollout begins globally from Monday.
Threads has surpassed 500 million monthly active users, and Meta is introducing new features like Communities and 'Your Algo' to give users more control over their algorithm.
Meta is using AI to rapidly develop and launch new standalone apps, with recent releases including Forum, Seller, and Instagram Instants, and plans for more to come.
Meta quietly launches Pocket, a vibe-coded gaming app that lets users create and share AI-generated interactive experiences, building on its earlier acquisition of the Gizmo platform.
