Meta is testing its ai chatbot, Meta ai, with select users on instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp in India and other countries. This chatbot allows users to have conversations, generate images, and explore a variety of ideas. Let's find out more about this new chatbot in town!
Meta ai is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Meta Platforms. It is essentially an LLM that allows users to have conversations and explore various ideas.
Conversational ai: Meta ai can participate in open chats on a wide range of topics. You can ask him questions, get creative by requesting poems or code generation, or just explore interesting thought experiments.
Informational wizard: It can also act as a source of useful information, answering your questions comprehensively (currently only in English).
Platform agnostic (testing phase): While currently rolling out in India on WhatsApp, Meta is testing Meta ai across its suite of products including instagram and Messenger. On these platforms, you can interact with it through direct messaging features, similar to other ai assistants like ChatGPT or Gemini. There, you can provide links to relevant search results and sources of answers.
Privacy Focused: Meta emphasizes that Meta ai only accesses chats that specifically mention “@MetaAI” and your personal messages and calls remain end-to-end encrypted for maximum security.
Learning and improvement: Meta ai actively seeks user feedback to improve its responses. You can rate their answers as “good” or “bad” and provide reasons to help them learn and grow.
Getting started using Meta ai on WhatsApp is simple. Look for the new icon in the top right corner of your WhatsApp chat list (available to select users for now). Simply tap the icon, choose a suggested message or type your own question, and hit send. Meta ai will respond in English, keeping your conversation secure with end-to-end encryption, just like your regular WhatsApp chats.
On instagram, you can access Meta ai through the direct messaging feature. Simply tap the Meta ai icon in the search bar and interact with the chatbot directly, similar to popular ai assistants like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. Meta ai works as a general-purpose assistant, answering a wide range of questions, including real-time information. Along with the answer, provide a link to relevant Google search results and footnotes to the sources used for your answer.
