Meta AI

Meta offers a data export (Settings > Data & privacy > Download your information) that may take up to 30 days. There is no documented import or restore of the agent on any runtime or host that Meta does not operate.

• Export a copy of your Meta AI and AI glasses device information

The export covers Meta AI app, meta.ai, Vibes and glasses data, excluding deleted content. Several classes of state stay with Meta: base instructions, model and logic, connector grants (Google Workspace connects through Meta's OAuth client), scheduled-task definitions, and the personalization signals Meta draws from other Meta products.

Meta AI is a hosted service that needs a Meta account and Meta's servers. Under the Terms, Meta may suspend or permanently disable access or delete the account.

• Meta AIs Terms of Service

Meta AI runs on Meta's own Muse Spark model; the announcement offers Instant and Thinking modes but no choice of a third-party or local model.

• Introducing Muse Spark

The Terms allow Meta to permanently disable access or delete the account for breach. No post-termination export window or shutdown plan is documented, and state is not kept on the owner's device by default.

• Meta AIs Terms of Service

Agent state lives on Meta's servers and can be read only through Meta's app or its export service. Base instructions and logic are not available to the owner in any form.

• Export a copy of your Meta AI and AI glasses device information

Meta does not document any view of the system prompt or the assembled context. Material settings are not exposed either: the exact model version in use and provider-side behaviour switches, including personalization from other Meta products, cannot be determined.

• Introducing Muse Spark
• Meta AIs Terms of Service

The Terms say AIs 'will sometimes retain and use' shared information, and that deleting messages, threads or even the account 'may not delete our copy'; no bounded retention period for AI interactions was found. Interests inferred from AI chats feed ad personalization, and the owner cannot see them item by item.

• Meta AIs Terms of Service
• Improving Your Recommendations on Our Apps With AI at Meta

Meta-first defaults are disclosed but cannot be switched off: personalization from Meta products and search partners chosen by Meta. No binding commitment against sponsored or self-preferencing recommendations was found.

• Meta AIs Terms of Service

Meta AI keeps a chat History and runs scheduled or recurring tasks, but no durable record of consequential actions is documented, with or without arguments and targets. Meta does not describe how the owner learns about unrecorded actions or recording failures.

• Meta AI Doesn't Just Think, It Acts
• Remove posts, chats and media from Meta AI and Vibes

No integrity data or tamper-evidence mechanism is documented for any Meta AI record.

• Meta AIs Terms of Service

No protection is documented that separates the record from the agent. Search excerpts of Meta help content (not rendered when opened) indicate that prompts like 'Delete full history' make Meta AI delete stored history.

• Delete details that Meta AI remembered about you (page content did not render; relied on search excerpt)

The service, runtime and Muse Spark model are closed. Meta says it 'hopes' to open-source future versions of the model.

• Introducing Muse Spark

The agent's identity is the owner's Meta account and Meta AI profile in Accounts Center. Meta issues these and can disable them under the Terms.

• Meta AIs Terms of Service

Per Meta help content seen only as search excerpts, a 'Memory updated' marker shows when a memory is saved, with a list of saved memories. No history of instructions, settings or model changes is documented, and there is no restore.

• Delete details that Meta AI remembered about you (page content did not render; relied on search excerpt)

Base instructions are set by Meta on its servers. No documented means lets the owner replace or override them.

• Meta AIs Terms of Service

Saved memories are listed and can be deleted one by one or all at once (per Meta help excerpts), but editing is not documented. The Terms say AIs also personalize using information such as 'interests, location and profile' from Meta products, a store that is not itemised in Meta AI.

• Meta AIs Terms of Service
• About Meta AI Memory (WhatsApp; content truncated when opened, relied on search excerpt)

Connectors are a Meta-curated set (for example Google Workspace and Meta business assets) that can be connected and disconnected. No documented way lets an owner add an arbitrary tool without Meta review, or remove built-ins such as web search.

• Use Meta AI to help manage your business

Meta applies protections such as content restrictions, including memory items that 'can't be saved' when deemed unsafe. No owner setting to change them is documented.

• Meta AIs Terms of Service

Meta changes the model server-side without offering pinning or opt-in (Muse Spark, then Muse Spark 1.1). The Terms promise notice only for material changes to the Terms themselves.

• Meta AI Doesn't Just Think, It Acts
• Meta AIs Terms of Service

The only documented limit is connecting or disconnecting whole services. No limits are documented for instruction sources, contacts, spend or per-tool scope, or for enforcement against model output.

• Use Meta AI to help manage your business

No owner-configurable approval gates are documented for Meta AI. The July 2026 post describes steering tasks in real time, not gating action classes.

• Meta AI Doesn't Just Think, It Acts

Meta AI runs scheduled and recurring tasks, but no global stop for in-flight, queued or scheduled work is documented. Per the C3 note, this is recorded as Unverified.

• Meta AI Doesn't Just Think, It Acts

Since 2025-12-16, Meta uses interactions with Meta AI to personalize ads and content in most regions, and the announcement offers no opt-out (only Ads Preferences). The Terms state that interactions may be reviewed by humans and shared with 'select partners, like search engines'.

• Meta AIs Terms of Service

Connected Google services are listed under Settings > Connected apps and can be disconnected individually. Revoking access to business assets is done by asking Meta AI in chat. Meta does not disclose where tokens are held, whether copies are deleted on revocation, or limits on its use of connected data.

• Use Meta AI to help manage your business

Deleting chats removes them from History. The Terms state that deleting messages, threads 'or even your account may not delete our copy of your personal information'.
