Like most other tech companies these days, Meta has been increasingly infusing AI into many of its products. The latest instance of this will see three new AI-powered features roll out to Facebook. These features aim to enhance search and bring more creative tools to the social experience.

The first of these features takes a page right out of Google Search’s playbook. Meta announced today that Facebook will be getting an AI mode. This new mode will answer whatever questions you have. It will also surface information based on what people are saying publicly across Meta’s apps, like Groups and Reels.

The second new feature coming your way is collage cutout templates and transition effects. This is an update to the camera roll sharing suggestions that Meta introduced late last year. As the company explains, these tools will allow you to ” produce smooth, stylized video montages.” Meta notes that this is an opt-in only feature and it can be turned off at any time.

The final part of this rollout introduces new photo presets. With these presets, you’ll be able to use AI to change your clothing, hair, and accessories. All you’ll have to do is tap on the “AI edit” icon in stories and select “Wear it.” You can also go to your profile picture and tap “Restyle” to do the same.
