Meta Launches Muse Image AI Tool Across Instagram, WhatsApp, and Meta AI App
Meta has launched Muse Image, its first AI image-generation model developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs, integrated across Instagram, WhatsApp, and the Meta AI app. Muse Image enables users to create and edit images using text prompts, sketches, and multiple photo inputs, with features like AI-assisted editing, creative presets, and QR code generation. While basic use is free, advanced capabilities require a subscription. The tool can access public Instagram photos for image creation by default, raising privacy concerns, though users can opt out or set accounts to private. Meta also previewed Muse Video, expanding its generative AI offerings.
