Meta is adding new features to Edits, its Instagram-adjacent video-editing app that competes with ByteDance’s CapCut. Multiple outlets report that Meta previews the updates at an invite-only creator event in Los Angeles. The company is integrating an AI assistant directly into the Edits workflow. At the event, Meta shows the assistant to attendees, and it is currently being tested with them. Meta also plans a desktop version of Edits, though outlets characterize it as not yet available; TNW says it is “coming soon.” TechCrunch frames the changes as part of Meta’s broader effort to keep creators working within its ecosystem, particularly as the company competes with TikTok and YouTube for creator attention. The reports do not provide additional details on the assistant’s specific capabilities or a launch timeline for the desktop app beyond the preview and “coming soon” characterization. No pricing or availability information is included in the provided source summaries.
