Meta has recently integrated its ChatGPT-like AI chatbot, Meta AI, into WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger in India. Powered by the Llama 2 model for text-based experiences and Llama 3 for image generation, Meta AI aims to enhance user interactions with various AI-driven capabilities.
On Instagram, accessing Meta AI is straightforward: users can swipe right from the main screen, tap the top search bar in the Direct Messages section, and either ask the chatbot questions or choose from pre-written prompts. Conversations with Meta AI appear under the Messages section, making the AI just a swipe and tap away.
Meta AI on Instagram offers a diverse range of functionalities. It can create stickers from scratch, help draft captions, write messages, generate images, plan trips, summarize lengthy texts, and provide the latest news headlines. Despite its advanced features, Meta AI, like other AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini, can sometimes produce inaccurate responses and hallucinations. While users can modify AI-generated images, the results may not always align with the original prompt.
To address privacy concerns, Meta has not given its AI chatbot access to personal conversations. However, users can leverage Meta AI to rephrase, shorten, or lengthen personal messages, add emojis, or make the text funnier or more supportive. By tapping the pencil icon on the left side of the text bar, users can modify their written text before sending it.
Similar to ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini, Meta AI on Instagram can assist with trip planning and provide recipes for various dishes. However, it does not analyze files like some of its counterparts. Meta seems to focus on making Meta AI practical, enabling users to obtain the information they need without leaving the app.
Meta AI’s integration into these popular platforms underscores the company's commitment to enhancing user experience through advanced AI technologies. As users continue to explore and interact with Meta AI, its role in everyday digital communication is set to expand, offering convenience and innovative solutions at the fingertips of millions in India.
