Meta had no own app to compete with chatgpt. Mark Zuckerberg has already warned that this will change very soon

Goal is in a strange situation in the AI ​​segment. His Open Source model, calls, is something like the Linux of the AI. From it all kinds of derived developments arise, but while the company triumphs among independent academics and developers, it barely has a presence in the commercial world. And precisely that can change soon.

Meta AI Independent APP in sight. According to sources close to the aforementioned project In CNBCGoal is preparing the launch of an independent AI application during the second quarter of 2025.

Goal AI is an unknown veteran. The company launched its chatbot Goal AI In September 2023, a year and a half ago. However, the company preferred Integrate it into your social networks ” It was a curious movement, but it has caused it to be a great stranger. Susan Li, CFO of Meta, indicated that Meta AI has about 700 million monthly active users (at least they have opened it once a month).

Goal needs its own chatgpt. And as a goal did not offer independent chatbot – it can be webbut not in the EU – the rivals have advanced him everywhere. Chatgpt has always been the referent, but Gemini, Claude, Deepseek or Co -People are now the clear options for those who want to access these tools. All of them offer independent applications on the mobile.

Even perplexity does it. Here we have A good example in perplexitywhich is not only a search engine with AI but has become a way of accessing several AI models – Open Source – from the same interface. Goal can take advantage of that same approach since its own LLM is Open Source, but a goal AI has always focused on a flame exclusively.

Zuck already warned. The Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, stood out in his talk with investors in January his ambition in this area: “This is going to be the year in which a personalized assistant of high intelligence reaches more than 1,000 million people, and I hope that ai is that assistant of AI.”

Did it twice. Not only said that to investors. On January 10 he answered a user who He suggested in Threads What a goal AI had its own independent application. Mark Zuckerberg’s response was an emoticon that represented that he agreed 100% with that suggestion.

Subscription model in sight. In CNBC they reveal that Meta plans to collect a subscription for using Metaai, thus imitating the philosophy they have followed for example OpenAi, Google or Microsoft. The idea, as in those cases, is to offer a basic version without cost, and then more powerful, but paid versions.
