Meta aims to incorporate AI chatbot in WhatsApp, Instagram

According to an article from The Indian Express from March 2023, AI chatbots are advancing to play a significant role in our daily lives. With ChatGPT's enormous success, more businesses are attempting to catch the AI wave. A recent statement clarifies how Meta will include its own LLM (long language model), the technology that drives AI chatbots, into its products, albeit the business has previously been working on it.

Mark Zuckerburg, the CEO of Meta, writes on Facebook that the company is forming a "new top-level product group" that would be "focused on generative AI." The business is combining various teams working on generative AI into one bigger team.

Starting with "creative and expressive tools," this new team will eventually concentrate on creating AI identities that may benefit humans in a number of ways. The personalities will be included in both Instagram and Meta's messaging applications, WhatsApp and Messenger.

The AI character may be accessible as a chatbot on WhatsApp and Messenger. Snapchat is already working on a similar project; MyAI, a playful chatbot, will be available at the top of all discussions. AI will also be included into inventive Instagram filters and ad types on Instagram.

Before the firm can create the "truly futuristic experiences," Zuckerberg acknowledges that there is a lot of underlying work to be done. In other words, the initial AI-based features will be simpler. Later, there will be proper AI chatbots that you can communicate with and ask questions to.

Yet, chatbots on Messenger are not totally new. The messaging platform added chatbot functionality back in 2016, and a number of businesses connected their bots to it to provide their consumers a more intelligent experience. The first will be a built-in bot that resembles ChatGPT, though.

Moreover, Meta has made significant investments in the Metaverse, a 3D-enabled virtual environment that combines augmented reality, virtual reality, and other cutting-edge technologies to provide an interactive, immersive world. In other ways, AI is also a part of it.
