Meta AI
Meta AI lands on Mac and wants to talk to your apps
🧒 Discovery
Meta's robot is moving into computers: you talk to it, it writes for you and looks at the screen to help you.
📰 Essential

The stakes lie in the system access granted to the assistant, continuous dictation and screen reading; Meta's data practices will face scrutiny.
