What is Meta AI on Instagram?

Meta AI is an advanced assistant integrated into Instagram to help provide users answers, spark ideas, and bring concepts to life. Its functionality ranges from generating creative content to helping with everyday tasks like outfit planning or crafting recipes. Whether you’re aiming to generate a surreal visual – ask, “imagine a cat wearing an astronaut suit on Mars” – or just looking for better phrasing in a conversation, Meta AI has you covered. 

Meta describes the feature as one that “will help people get answers to their questions, brainstorm content and bring their ideas to life in places where they can easily share the results with their local network and our broader global community.”

Notably, users can personalise their AI assistant with celebrity-inspired voices such as Dame Judi Dench, John Cena, or Kristen Bell.
