Meta is expanding its AI assistant beyond the browser and mobile apps with a new dedicated Mac app, giving users a more convenient way to get help while they work.
The standout feature is screen-aware assistance: users can share a window with Meta AI, allowing the chatbot to answer questions, offer suggestions, or create content based on what is visible on screen.
A more practical desktop assistant
The Mac app also supports dictation across apps, which could make writing, brainstorming, and everyday workflows faster and more accessible. For people who prefer speaking over typing, that adds a useful productivity boost.
- Context-aware help while working on documents, projects, or webpages
- Content creation and suggestions tied to what is on screen
- System-wide dictation support for easier input
While desktop AI assistants are becoming increasingly common, Meta’s Mac app is another sign that AI tools are moving into everyday workflows in more seamless, practical ways.
