Meta Platforms (META) is reportedly preparing to release a standalone application centered around its artificial intelligence chatbot, according to a recent CNBC report. This move is seen as a strategy to directly compete with other tech giants in the AI space, including Microsoft (MSFT)-backed OpenAI and Google’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) Gemini.
It is unknown at this time what specific features the app will include or what its primary uses will be, but a dedicated app would give Meta a new and potentially stronger foothold in the quickly expanding AI arms race.
