The latest releases from Meta include new creative tools and AI assistants designed to enhance user engagement, streamline content creation, and provide deeper marketing insights through predictive analytics and automated processes. Like new AI features from Google, these changes will have significant ramifications for marketers.
Meta AI
Meta’s new AI assistant is improving user experience with more intuitive and human-like responses. Powered by a highly advanced large language model called Llama 3, Meta AI enhances business use and enables superior customer support by making interactions with companies more effective. Available in chats and searches across the company’s applications (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, and more), the new Meta AI features ensure faster, more accurate answers to queries and highly personalized content recommendations. For businesses, its ability to understand context and user intent leads to more satisfying and efficient customer service engagements. Imagine a scenario in which a user experiencing issues with a product contacts a company’s customer support via Facebook chat. Meta’s AI assistant can quickly understand the user’s problem, offers troubleshooting steps, and, if needed, schedules a service appointment, all while maintaining a friendly, conversational tone that keeps the user engaged. Meta AI has already been incorporated into chat and interactive systems across the company’s platforms.
Meta Imagine
Meta released its first round of AI ad tools last year. Those tools included a background generator for improved images, an image expander to help marketers ensure that aspect ratio was appropriate for every use, and a text generator to create multiple versions of ads. Released in April, the new Meta AI features include Meta Imagine, a powerful image and text generation tool. By enabling marketers to produce high-quality visuals and text efficiently, Meta Imagine will support the quick creation of engaging Facebook and Instagram social media posts, advertisements, and other digital content. New AI ad tools have already been integrated into WhatsApp. Marketers who know how to use Meta AI Imagine will be able to harness its power to generate personalized and relevant content, connect with their target audience, increase engagement, and drive conversions while saving time and resources.
