Meta AI gets a native Mac app aimed at creators and small businesses

The Meta AI macOS app requires Apple silicon and macOS 15 or later, meaning older Intel-based Macs cannot run it. It ships as a small download of around 16MB and is currently a free 1.0 beta available in select regions, with some advanced features requiring a paid Meta One subscription. Developers building for macOS can track platform-specific AI app requirements like this on daily.dev.

It can watch a shared screen window for context, letting a user share a spreadsheet or design mockup and ask questions about it, and it includes system-wide dictation that transcribes speech in any app. It also connects to Instagram, Facebook, ad accounts, and Google Workspace to draft posts, documents, and recurring reports. Anyone evaluating AI productivity tools for business workflows can follow releases like this on daily.dev.
