A new AI-powered search option is now live on Facebook. Public posts may be used to generate answers. Meta is also introducing fresh AI features for images and collages. Here’s what users need to know.
Meta has introduced a new "AI Mode" search feature on Facebook, allowing users to receive AI-generated answers based on publicly shared posts. This option now appears alongside existing search categories like "People" and "Marketplace," giving users another way to find information on the platform.
When users select "AI Mode," the search results are generated by Meta’s artificial intelligence, which draws from content posted publicly across Meta’s platforms. This approach is similar to the AI search function in Meta’s recently launched Forum app, which also leverages public user content to provide more conversational results.
In addition to the new search mode, Meta is rolling out several other AI-driven features. These include photo presets that can digitally add sports jerseys to fans in images, as well as AI-powered suggestions for creating collage templates. The company says these tools are designed to make content creation and discovery more interactive and personalized for users.
Users can also engage with Meta’s AI by asking follow-up questions after an initial search, enabling a more dynamic and responsive search experience. The company has not specified whether private posts or messages are used, but emphasizes that only publicly available content informs the AI-generated results.
