Meta Enters Search
Meta has now officially entered Google’s territory. After Notebook Llama, the company is looking to develop its search engine to reduce the reliance on Google and Bing. With this move, it aims to offer users conversational answers via Meta AI across platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Threads.
Last week, Meta partnered with Reuters to help its users ask questions in real time about news and current events.
The timing could not be more fitting. Just as the news about Meta’s entry into the AI search market surfaced, Google released a promotional blog, alongside its chief Sundar Pichai revealing new stats for its AI Overviews. “With today’s expansion to 100+ countries, AI Overviews will reach 1B+ users globally,” he announced, hinting that even more exciting advancements are in store for search.
