Since OpenAI released ChatGPT and astounded users in November 2022, artificial intelligence has been the buzz of the IT industry. With its human-like replies, the AI chatbot soon attracted attention, and people started looking for applications for the new technology. ChatGPT has undergone several improvements over time and will soon include real-time browsing capabilities. Even IT behemoths like Microsoft and Google have their own AI chatbots.

But Meta was one player who had been absent from the AI race up to this point. Additionally, rumours that Meta was developing its own AI assistant as well as other AI-powered goods have been circulating for a while.
