Meta Launches New Voice AI Powered by Llama 4: What You Need to Know

Meta, the company that is changing the way we see the internet the fastest, has officially unveiled its latest Meta AI app to the world. The app gives users the ability to interact with artificial intelligence through voice without using a keyboard. It is based on the advanced Llama 4 model and provides a full-fledged voice interface for communicating with a digital assistant.

This innovative solution, which Meta announced via its blog, opens up new possibilities in interacting with technology, allowing users to ask questions by voice, such as: "Hi Meta, where is the nearest vegan restaurant?" and receive natural answers without having to type text. This is especially convenient in situations where both hands are busy, such as while cooking or on the go.

Meta AI automatically remembers and takes into account users' individual preferences to personalize its answers based on previous queries. If a user provides access to their Instagram or Facebook profiles, the assistant can more accurately recommend things like travel or books.

Key features of the new app include the ability to create and edit images using voice commands, as well as a full-duplex voice dialogue mode that allows users to communicate with the assistant without pauses or delays. This is the first such solution among major language models to implement this level of interaction.

In addition, users can choose the voice with which Meta AI will speak. The list includes voiceovers of famous personalities such as John Cena, Keegan-Michael Key, Awkwafina, Judi Dench and Kristen Bell. Each voice is tuned to a lively conversation with characteristic emotions and rhythms.

At the moment, the voice functionality is only available in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but Meta plans to gradually expand its geographical availability. Users from other countries can already try out the text versions of Meta AI on Facebook, Instagram or Messenger.

This new Meta initiative in voice AI opens the door to future technology innovations and shows what possibilities can be opened by combining artificial intelligence with voice interface.
