Meta AI Reaches 1 Billion Monthly Active Users

Meta AI Surpasses 1 Billion Monthly Active Users

Meta AI has reached a significant milestone, boasting over one billion monthly active users across its various applications. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the achievement during the company's annual shareholder meeting, marking substantial growth from 500 million users in September 2024.

Focus on Personalization and Future Monetization

Zuckerberg emphasized the company's focus on enhancing the user experience. The goal is to establish Meta AI as the leading personal AI assistant, prioritizing personalization, voice conversations, and entertainment.

The focus for this year is deepening the experience and making Meta AI the leading personal AI with an emphasis on personalization, voice conversations and entertainment.

Meta plans to continue developing the AI assistant before implementing a monetization strategy. Zuckerberg suggested potential future revenue streams, including paid recommendations and a subscription service for increased computing power.

A subscription model would position Meta AI to compete with other popular AI chat apps like OpenAI's ChatGPT.

This milestone comes just a month after Meta launched its standalone Meta AI app.
