Meta AI offers users access to the Llama 3.1 chatbot, which allows them to interact in conversational mode, like Gemini Live, as well as to perform rapid translations, summaries, or even generate images. The particularity of this widget lies in the presence of a cameralocated next to the traditional question bar. This suggests that users could now interact with AI in a new way, which could resemble what is found with Google with the ability to identify subjects present in the image and ask related questions .
