Meta AI Launches Mac App With Screen Sharing and Dictation
Meta today launched a new Meta AI app for the Mac, which is available in a beta capacity.
The app is primarily meant for businesses and content creators, and it integrates with Facebook and Instagram. It incorporates analytics tools so it can answer questions about performance, and connects with Google Workspace for document access. Google Workspace access requires a professional Facebook or Instagram account.
Meta says there's an option to share a window during a session using screen capture to get advice based on what's being worked on. It also includes built-in dictation that works across all apps on the Mac.
Meta is adding new Meta AI features for business users across its platforms, so the assistant can complete recurring tasks and reminders and generate decks, docs, and spreadsheets.
Creators and businesses may want to use caution when opting in to Meta AI, because Meta's privacy policy makes it clear that "interactions with features that are part of AI at Meta" are used to train its models.
Meta AI is free to use, but there are Meta One plans that increase rate limits.
