One of the most anticipated updates is the ability to have voice conversations with Meta AI, expanding its functionality beyond the Ray-Ban smart glasses, which were the only platform supporting such interactions previously.
The company has partnered with various celebrities to bring these voices to life, though the exact timeline for the feature’s release remains undisclosed.
Expanding Meta AI’s Reach
The Meta AI assistant is everywhere across Meta’s platforms. Soon, users on Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp will be able to select their preferred celebrity voice to interact with.
In addition to celebrity voices, there will be more generic voice options based on individual user preferences. These features are expected to be available in the U.S. and other English-speaking regions.
Meta is hoping these celebrity voices will attract more users to its AI assistant.
The company has already phased out its celebrity chatbot personas from the previous year’s launch and is exploring new ways to integrate AI into its main applications. One such feature is AI-generated translation for Reels, which will include automatic dubbing and lip-syncing.
A World of AI Possibilities
In addition to voice features, Meta AI is gaining new image capabilities. Users will soon be able to ask Meta AI to edit images within apps like Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. This includes changing backgrounds, removing or adding objects, and altering elements like clothing.
