Meta AI’s new Mac app wants you to talk to your apps
Meta said its Muse Spark model is powering the dictation feature.
Meta has introduced a new Mac application for Meta AI, featuring system-wide dictation capabilities. This innovative app can access the current screen and provide answers to questions based on the context, leveraging its Muse Spark model. The dictation feature operates seamlessly across all applications, much like other tools such as Wispr Flow, Superwhisper, and Monologue.
Google recently followed suit by updating its Gemini app for Mac with a system-wide dictation feature. This Mac app release is part of Meta AI's broader update aimed at business owners. By connecting their Instagram and Facebook accounts, along with Meta ad campaigns and Google Workspace tools (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Slides), merchants can leverage Meta AI to gain insights on campaign performance and audience engagement.
Users can pose queries to the AI assistant to retrieve data on the effectiveness of their posts. Furthermore, Meta AI can offer intelligence on competitors using publicly available information. The integration of Meta AI with business tools enables the assistant to generate proposal decks, draft documents, and spreadsheets. Meta has been increasingly concentrating on making its AI tools accessible to businesses for automated customer support and inquiries, spanning across various platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram.
During the company's Q2 2026 earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg highlighted the significant opportunity to sell agents to businesses and automate their work.
