During the annual Connect conference, Meta made a significant announcement regarding the integration of various AI products and features into WhatsApp
some new features on whatsapp
The move is motivated by the potential of Generative AI to enhance creativity, productivity, and entertainment by simply sending a message. Recognizing the extensive use of WhatsApp for conversations globally, Meta aims to democratize access to this evolving technology for users worldwide.
Meta’s commitment to exploring the possibilities of Generative AI is manifested in the introduction of three new AI services. These services, powered by Meta, mark the initial phase of what promises to be an ongoing journey of experimentation.
Users can now embark on testing these innovations within their chats with friends and family. The announcement signifies Meta’s proactive approach in leveraging AI to transform messaging experiences, making them more dynamic and engaging for WhatsApp users globally.
WhatsApp AI; How it Works
- AI stickers: You can now create a custom sticker that represents a thought or idea that’s just right for your chat.
- AI chats: With Meta’s AIs, you can ask any question to find out more about topics or try and settle a debate in your group chat, including getting the perspective from dozens of characters Meta has created that respond in interesting ways.
- Photorealistic Image Generation: By typing the prompt /imagine, AIs allow you to generate images to represent an idea, place, or person.
For those who are new to the early capabilities of Generative AI, we’ve put together some basics on how these systems work to protect your privacy. The most important thing to know is that your personal messages with friends and family are off limits. AIs can read what is sent to them, but your personal messages remain end-to-end encrypted, so no one else, including Meta, can see them.
In addition, we’re interested in helping businesses improve the quality and speed of services they provide to people through the AI of their choice. We’re working behind the scenes with a few partners now and we’ll have more to say about this in the months to come.
We’ll keep everyone updated in the app as we make these tools available to more people in more languages. We very much look forward to your feedback and hearing about what you create. Meta announced.
