Meta is launching a dedicated Mac app for its AI chatbot, announced on Wednesday, that lets users share their window so the assistant can provide suggestions, answer questions, or generate content based on what is on screen.
- The Meta AI Mac app lets users share their window so the chatbot can answer questions or create content based on on-screen content
- The app connects to Instagram and Facebook accounts, Meta ad campaigns, and Google Workspace across web, mobile, and Mac
- Business features include analyzing post reach, likes, shares and saves to suggest content, plus recurring tasks like weekly performance updates
The app also supports dictation across all other Mac applications - a capability that extends Meta AI beyond its own interface and into a user’s broader desktop workflow. The move positions Meta AI closer to productivity-focused rivals that already hold real estate on the desktop: Google’s Gemini app supports window sharing, while OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude go further by letting their chatbots take direct control of the computer.
Alongside the Mac launch, Meta is rolling out new capabilities for businesses and creators. The company says its app - across web, mobile, and Mac - can now connect directly to Instagram and Facebook accounts, Meta ad campaigns, and Google Workspace. The chatbot can analyze post reach along with likes, shares, and saves to suggest future content. It can also pull information from a business account and the web to produce decks, documents, and spreadsheets, and handle recurring tasks such as weekly performance updates.
Meta AI can create content and make suggestions based on what it “sees” on your screen.
Practitioner takeaway: For creators and small-business owners already running Meta ad campaigns or managing Instagram and Facebook pages, the Google Workspace connection and automated performance reporting could cut the time spent compiling weekly analytics by hand. The screen-sharing feature is less powerful than the computer-use capabilities offered by ChatGPT and Claude - neither of which requires the user to manually share a window - so developers who need an agent that actively navigates the desktop will still find more headroom with those tools for now.
