According to reports, Meta is working to develop its own AI-powered search engine in an effort to reduce its reliance on the industry’s leading search engines, such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing. With the help of its integrated AI chatbot, Meta hopes to create a more autonomous and reliable information system that can provide real-time updates and summaries produced by AI.
According to sources close to the project, Meta’s hardworking engineering team has spent the last eight months developing the search engine and creating a vast database of pertinent data that users will be able to access on all of Meta’s social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Although Meta’s chatbot now uses Google and Bing to answer search inquiries, the new search engine would enable Meta to provide replies on its own.
In line with other AI-driven businesses seeking to develop independent tools, Meta’s decision to construct a private search engine marks a strategic change. Meta has strengthened its AI-based capabilities in recent months, integrating news material through a multi-year agreement with Reuters. This partnership marks a significant return to news-based content for Meta, as the integration aims to provide active news seekers with trustworthy information in a regulated setting.
This action is in line with Meta’s increasing goal to reclaim control over the user experience by developing features inside its own ecosystem. This search engine development puts Meta in a position to become a pioneer in AI-powered information distribution as it strives to establish its own position in the AI-driven future.
