Mark Zukerberg’s Meta Is Set To Release A Standalone AI App With A Premium Subscription Option For Advanced Features Enhancing User Experience
Meta AI is going to have a separate identity with a new standalone app, as per the CNBC report. Meta AI is currently under trial and connected to social media applications like Facebook and Whatsapp with limited features and precision that Zukerberg is looking forward to advancing in the new app.

Meta AI Is Set To Compete Present AI Chatbot Like Chatgpt
Meta CEO Mark Zukerberg is planning to make the company leader in the AI section after running a monopoly in social media. Speculation suggests Meta now wants to beat competitors like OpenAI and Alphabet to become a global leader in AI section.

Zuckerberg said, “This is going to be the year when a highly intelligent and personalized AI assistant reaches more than 1 billion people, and I expect Meta AI to be that leading AI assistant.” Elon Musk's move of releasing xAI for iOS is likely to be the motivator for Meta to launch the stand-alone application for Android also.
Users Have To Pay A Monthly Subscription For Meta AI
After release, Meta AI would not be free for users like it is now. There might be a monthly charge for Meta users for providing a more powerful version of the AI chatbot, just like OpenAI and xAI. The rising usage of DeepSeek AI is another motivator for the standalone app that helps in revenue generation, apart from being attached to social media websites.

AI race is currently a hot favorite in the world, and Meta does not want to sit outside the race and is planning to run in the game. Considering the dominance of Mark Zukerberg in social media, including Facebook, acquiring Whatsapp and Instagram and creating Thread, it would be interesting to see what he could do in the AI market.
