Meta has launched a new Mac application for Meta AI that features system-wide dictation and screen-context awareness. The update also integrates business tools, allowing merchants to analyze ad performance and automate document creation.
Why it matters
This release signals Meta's aggressive push to integrate AI agents into professional workflows and compete with other productivity-focused AI tools on the macOS platform.
Meta on Thursday announced a new Mac app for Meta AI with built-in system-wide dictation. The app can also look at the current screen and answer your questions based on the context using its Muse Spark model.
The company said that the dictation feature works across all apps, just like other tools such as Wispr Flow, Superwhisper, and Monologue. Last month, Google also updated its Gemini app for Mac to enable a system-wide dictation feature .
The Mac app release is part of a Meta AI update for business owners. The company said that merchants can connect their Instagram and Facebook accounts, Meta ad campaigns, and Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides) accounts to Meta AI, and get insights by asking queries to the AI assistant.
