You can ask follow-up questions and dive deeper into topics, too. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update will be rolled out globally starting Monday, the company says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meta noted it\u2019s continuing to test Meta AI in Threads\u2019 public feeds in a handful of global markets and is considering feedback before expanding availability more broadly. Users who want to see fewer Meta AI replies in their feed can mute @meta.ai, use the \u201cNot interested\u201d option on any Meta AI post, or hide Meta AI replies that appear on their post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By further integrating Meta AI into Threads, Meta is positioning its X rival as a place where you can get information and recommendations without having to leave the app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta on Monday said it is rolling out its Meta AI chatbot within Threads\u2019 DMs, giving users a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546596,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[365,363,364,5941,20549,111,139,69,145,69257],"class_list":["post-546595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-in-brief","tag-meta-ai","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology","tag-threads"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546595"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546595\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
