1. Meta plans a standalone app for its AI assistant, Meta AI. 2. The app may launch as early as April-June 2025. 3. Meta AI already has over 700 million monthly users. 4. A paid subscription service for enhanced capabilities is being tested. 5. Meta will host its first AI-focused developer conference, LlamaCon.
The launch of a standalone AI app and subscription model can enhance user engagement and revenue streams, reminiscent of successful app launches like Instagram's standalone version, which significantly benefited Meta's overall engagement metrics.
