Meta Is Working on a Paid Version of Its AI Assistant

Meta Platforms is considering charging users for a more advanced version of its artificial intelligence-powered assistant, called Meta AI, according to an internal post reviewed by The Information.

Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic each offer $20-per-month subscriptions to their chatbots. The subscriptions let people use those companies’ chatbots inside workplace apps such as Microsoft Word and give people priority access when usage is high, among other things. The features Meta might offer in a premium tier, and how much Meta might charge, couldn’t be learned. Its plans may change.
