At the Meta 2024 Connect event, Meta today announced a plethora of new Meta AI-related features. One of the biggest changes is that you can now voice chat with Meta AI. Besides, the AI chatbot is also getting new image editing capabilities. Let’s discuss them turn by turn. The company says the new abilities are now possible using its Llama 3.2 models.
Meta AI now supports voice chat and responds to your queries using the AI voice of celebrities
The first big change is related to how you engage with Meta AI. Now, you can use your voice to talk with the Meta AI on Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram DM. The Meta AI will then respond to your queries. Previously, it was only possible to voice chat with Meta AI through the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
With this feature in place, you’ll now be able to listen to jokes or resolve your queries without even leaving the app. What’s more interesting is that you can customize the Meta AI’s voice from a range of AI voices of celebrities like John Cena, Keegan Michael Key, Kristen Bell, Awkwafina, and Dame Judi Dench. Interesting, right?
Meta AI is also getting improved photo editing capabilities alongside voice chat support. You can now share photos while chatting with Meta AI and ask it to edit the way you want. For reference, you can ask Meta AI to add or remove objects from the photos. On top of that, Meta AI can make changes in the photos such as changing an outfit or replacing the background as seen in the image below.
The AI chatbot can answer your queries about an image too
In addition, Meta AI can also respond to your queries about an image. You can share the image in your chats with the AI chatbot and it’ll answer your image-related queries. In a real-life scenario, this would mean sharing an image of a flower you captured from your recent hike and asking Meta AI about it. While doing so, Meta AI will normally respond via text and not voice. You can check the image attached below.
Thanks to the new backgrounds feature, Meta AI can generate fun backgrounds for your photos that you are willing to reshare on Instagram Stories. Moving on, Meta is also testing an AI translation feature for Reels. The company also plans to expand Meta AI’s Imagine feature to bring personalized AI-generated content only for you. While all the announced features sound interesting, we await the rollout to see if they’re any good. We’re most excited about Meta AI’s voice chat feature.
