Meta has announced a major update to its AI assistant, Meta AI, expanding its reach and functionality. With the latest enhancements, users across 22 countries can now interact with Meta AI in seven additional languages, including French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. This rollout introduces Meta AI to Latin America for the first time.

Reach and language expansion

Meta AI's latest update extends its accessibility to 22 countries. This expansion includes Cameroon in Africa and Latin American countries such as Argentina, Chile, and Colombia. Users in these countries can now converse with Meta AI.

Also, Meta AI can now communicate in additional languages such as French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, with more languages being added in the future. These multilingual capabilities enable users to interact with Meta AI across popular platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Facebook in their preferred languages. 

Enhanced tools

Meta AI is also releasing the “Image me” tools, currently for users in the U.S. Users can transform their ideas into vivid images and generate personalized pictures based on their photos and prompts.  For instance, you could simply use the, “Imagine me” to show you different haircuts in your photo.

Additionally, a new feature will be added to help users edit photos more easily. With advanced editing tools, the "Edit with AI" button which will be added next month will assist in image modification with just a few clicks.

Advanced assistance for complex queries

The latest upgrade includes access to Meta AI’s most sophisticated model, “Llama 405B.” This system excels in handling complex queries related to math and coding. 

Llama 405B provides simple explanations for math problems, debugging support for code, and detailed guidance on technical and complex topics. Users can leverage these capabilities for educational purposes or intricate project developments.

Integration with other Meta’s systems

Meta AI’s functionality extends across WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Facebook. It is accessible in Ray-Ban, Meta’s smart glasses, and will soon be available on Meta Quest for U.S. and Canadian users. 

Importantly, “Meta AI will replace the current Voice Commands on Quest.” The integration with Meta Quest introduces features such as real-time information retrieval and contextual advice based on the user’s physical surroundings, enhancing the mixed reality experience.
