Check requirements

• Apple silicon Mac
• macOS 15 or later
• Latest Meta AI app (v1.0 beta)
• Professional Facebook and Instagram access if you want business features
• Google Workspace account for Docs, Sheets, and Slides support

Install and quick launch

• Download and install the Meta AI app for Mac.
• Press Option + Space to open the compact composer over any app.
• Hide the app from the Dock if you prefer keyboard-only access.

Connect business accounts

• Sign in with your professional Facebook and Instagram profiles.
• Link your Meta advertising accounts to expose campaign data.
• Connect Google Workspace to let the assistant draft Docs, Slides, and Sheets.

Grant the right permissions

• Enable Screen Recording for window sharing so the app can read visible text.
• Grant Accessibility so the app can capture the selected window as an image.
• Limit access to only what you need; review these settings often.

Master the desktop features for daily work

Option-Space composer for speed

• Use Option + Space to ask quick questions without leaving your current app.
• Paste metrics, URLs, or snippets to get instant summaries or drafts.
• Pin the small window near your active task to reduce context switching.

Dictation that works in any app

• Turn on dictation to speak emails, posts, notes, or code into your editor.
• Use short sentences and add “period,” “comma,” or “new line” for clean text.
• Proof the result inside your app before sending.

Window sharing for context, not control

• Attach one open window to a chat to let Meta AI read on-screen text.
• Ask for summaries, bullet points, alt text, captions, or ad copy.
• Note: It cannot click, edit files, or run apps. It only interprets what it can see.

Prompt patterns that work

• Summarize: “Read the selected window. Give 5 key takeaways and 3 risks.”
• Improve: “Rewrite the on-screen caption in a friendly voice. Keep under 120 characters.”
• Plan: “Based on these insights, suggest 3 post ideas with hooks, visuals, and CTAs.”
• Report: “Turn this into a weekly update with a short intro and next steps.”

Build business workflows that save time

Turn social metrics into action

• Connect Facebook and Instagram. Pull reach, likes, shares, and saves.
• Ask which posts outperformed and why (topic, format, time, caption style).
• Get next-post suggestions aligned to what worked.

Plan content using Google Workspace

• Have the assistant draft a post calendar in Sheets with dates, channels, copy, and assets.
• Generate slide outlines in Slides for client or team reviews.
• Create a content brief in Docs with audience, tone, keywords, and CTAs.

Automate weekly reporting

• Schedule recurring tasks for performance summaries each week.
• Include top posts, key metrics, learning notes, and recommended experiments.
• Export to Docs or Sheets, then share with your team.

Campaign support without overreach

• Ask for ad headline and description variations from your on-screen creative.
• Request target audience ideas based on past engagement patterns.
• Track ideas in Sheets and link to assets in Drive.

Team handoff made easy

• Use dictation to capture client feedback quickly.
• Share a window of the client brief and ask for a one-page summary.
• Post the summary and action items to your project hub.

Privacy, security, and compliance

Limit and review access

• Only connect the accounts you need for a task.
• Use separate work profiles for business data.
• Review and revoke permissions after each campaign or team change.

Protect sensitive content

• Share only the window you intend to share, not your whole screen.
• Redact or hide private data before attaching the window.
• Avoid sharing customer PII or unreleased financials.

Document retention and regional rules

• Check how long data is kept and where it is stored.
• If you work under EU rules, confirm consent workflows and data removal paths.
• Keep an internal log of connected services and data flow.

Troubleshooting and optimization

When the app cannot read your window

• Recheck Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions in System Settings.
• Make sure the target window is frontmost and not minimized.
• Zoom to 100% and use light mode if OCR struggles with contrast.

If dictation feels inaccurate

• Use a quiet room and a headset mic.
• Speak in short phrases and review output before sending.
• Add custom words (product names, brands) in your prompts.

Keep prompts consistent

• Save prompt templates for summaries, captions, and reports.
• Repeat the same structure each week to improve comparability.
• Track which prompts lead to higher engagement.
