Meta just rolled out a fresh feature on Threads called Ask Meta AI, and it's designed to boost adoption of Meta's chatbot while making life easier for users hunting down information about posts. Here's what's interesting: you can fire questions at the bot about literally any aspect of a post—whether that's summarizing the text, digging into embedded videos, or even requesting information Meta pulls from external sources. All without leaving the app.

Meta is rolling this AI-powered platform across its entire ecosystem in different forms. On Instagram, it powers image editing tools. On Threads, it works as an inline chatbot for individual posts. Users can accomplish a lot through simple, straightforward commands—no complex prompts required. Below is your step-by-step guide to getting the most out of Ask Meta AI on Threads.

How to Use Ask Meta AI on Threads

Step 1:

Open any post on Threads and tap the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner. Then select Ask Meta AI from the menu.

Step 2:

The AI chat interface will open and automatically display key information about the post—including text, images, videos, and other media. No input needed on your part. Meta serves up the essential details in your language, highlighting the most important points from the post.

Want deeper insights or have questions about video content? Just type your query and send it.

Step 3:

Meta AI extracts and analyzes video content for you. Everything comes back in your preferred language, even if the original post or video was created in a different language.

Need a condensed version? Simply ask Meta AI to create a summary of the key points.

Ask Meta AI lets you get quick answers about any post directly within Threads. No need to copy-paste content into a separate chatbot. The real benefit here is convenience—everything happens in context.

The feature supports several practical uses:

  • Break down confusing terminology or complex concepts mentioned in the post.
  • Get answers to follow-up questions related to the post's topic.
  • Receive additional context or background information for better comprehension.
