Meta rolls out a new AI creator assistant on Facebook

Meta announced on Thursday that it’s introducing a new AI creator assistant on Facebook that will give creators personalized recommendations based on their content style, performance, community, and goals.

For example, it may suggest using trending audio or creating content around cultural moments. Image Credits: Meta The new assistant is rolling out to creators in the U.S., Canada, and India.
