Meta AI Launches Dedicated Mac App With New Tools

Meta has made a special version of Meta AI for Mac computers.

Users can press Option-Space to quickly open it.

They can also dictate words into other apps using a keyboard shortcut.

Meta AI can look at another open window if the user gives it Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions.

This helps the assistant understand what the user is asking about.

The app has a sidebar that keeps different kinds of work organized.

It can also upload files, create media, and schedule reminders or briefings.

Meta is also expanding its AI products with a coding tool called Muse Code.
