Meta recently launched its AI chatbot on WhatsApp in India for its limited users. The data collected will help the AI get better, while helping the enterprises lessen the distance between business and user
Meta, Meta Platforms, Inc., a technology conglomerate has finally launched Artificial Intelligent chatbot on Whatsapp in a few selected countries, including India. The American company announced in February that the company is building “a new top-level product group” to integrate generative AI into its services used by billions of users, according to TechCrunch.
The tech giant initiated the testing of text-based AI tools on WhatsApp and Messenger with ChatGPT-styled conversational bots in February of this year. While it primarily caters to user needs, enterprises can also tap into these features for areas such as sales and customer support.
What can Meta AI do
Unlike typical user-to-user conversations, interactions with the Meta AI chatbot are not encrypted. Typically personal messages and calls remain end-to-end encrypted, meaning not even WhatsApp or Meta can see or listen to them. This is because these conversations are used to train the AI, allowing it to learn and improve over time. The AI feature is currently only available in English.
The Meta AI chatbot like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot, allows the users to ask questions on various topics, generate images, have complete conversations, get information and much more.
“Meta AI can only read and reply to questions that mention @Meta AI, not any others. As always, your personal messages and calls remain end-to-end encrypted, meaning not even WhatsApp or Meta can see or listen to them.,” says Meta.
Users can update their apps to check if they have received the update and check for the latest update available on the Play Store. According to India Today, users can use Meta AI in both persona and group chat on Whatsapp.
