Meta’s Forum is part Reddit, part Facebook, and part Google AI Overview

by

Meta’s new Forums app for iPhone takes Facebook Groups and moves them into a dedicated app with a dedicated AI chatbot, much like the AI ​​revamp of the Groups app Facebook closed in 2017.

Instead of going to ChatGPT or dealing with “Reddit” at the end of a Google search, forum users can view, search, and post advice directly to their Facebook groups with the optional help of Meta’s AI.

After logging in with my Facebook account, the forum automatically included the groups I was a part of on Facebook and filled my feed with posts from those groups, along with suggestions from groups I’m not a part of, similar to my Reddit feed, though without the Reddit pseudonyms.

Groups aren’t front and center on Facebook, so I wasn’t surprised to find some groups in my list that I had completely forgotten about. In addition to the feed, you can also see a smaller version of your Facebook profile that just shows your group posts, browse new groups, and post directly to specific groups.

The forum’s AI chatbot lives under the “Ask” tab, where you can get AI-generated responses to posts to various Facebook groups, just as Google’s search results and AI overviews are derived from Reddit content it licenses and other sources on the Internet.

To try it out, I asked the AI ​​a few questions Magic the Gathering. Meta’s chatbot referenced some posts Magic The groups I am involved in and have generally given good advice with suggestions for groups in my area of ​​New Jersey. The results included posts with AI references, so you can tap on those posts to see the full conversation around them.

Meta communications manager Feryal Hemmada confirmed the launch of the forum in a statement The Verge: “We test a lot of new products publicly to see what people find interesting and useful for their experiences on our apps.”

  6. Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at brightfashionstore extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.
