Meta AI Officially Launches In MENA Region
Meta’s AI assistant, Meta AI, has expanded to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), empowering users in the region with a tool to learn, create, and connect to the things and people they care about most. The feature is gradually rolling out across the region, with full accessibility already available in key markets including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, and Iraq.
Enhanced User Experience
Conveniently located across Meta’s family of apps (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger), Meta AI is easily accessible through its blue circle icon within Meta’s apps and requires no prior registration. It can also be used in group chats by simply typing ‘@Meta AI,’ making it ideal for quick research, brainstorming, and planning with friends.
Cutting-Edge Technology
Meta AI is built with state-of-the-art Llama 3.2, Meta’s largest and most capable open-source large language model. It has the capabilities to generate text, create, and animate images directly within Meta apps.
Users can explore Meta AI’s image-generation Imagine feature by simply typing “Imagine” followed by a detailed description of the image they want to create. For example, typing “Imagine a tiger wearing a vest drinking tea at a café” prompts Meta AI to generate the image in real-time, with the option to animate it.
Support for Arabic
The expansion also introduces support for Arabic, making Meta AI accessible to even more people across the region. Meta AI is designed to be intuitive, offering a wealth of opportunities to enhance daily life. Following this gradual rollout, users in the region can look forward to more visionary and advanced multimodal features on the horizon.
Exciting Collaborations
To celebrate the arrival of Meta AI in the Middle East and North Africa, Meta is launching “Elevating Every Moment”— a content series designed to help users unlock the full potential of Meta AI. The series will feature collaborations with regional creators on Instagram, offering helpful tips, practical use cases, and deep dives to assist users with everyday tasks.
Future Developments
Meta AI will soon integrate advanced tools to help users craft captions for their posts, making creativity and connection easier than ever. Subscribe now to keep reading and get access to the full archive.
