What Is Meta AI In WhatsApp

Meta AI Assistant is an AI integration in WhatsApp that allows you to “interact like a human”. So, it will provide you access to real-time information in text-based chats via Bing and gives image generation capabilities.

WhatsApp’s built-in AI chatbot allows you to instantly perform tasks like fact-checking and translating messages without leaving the conversation window. This is part of a broader rollout in which Meta aims to integrate AI tools. So, it will simplify and enrich user interactions and create more dynamic forms of communication. Moreover, you can activate the chatbot by typing their request directly into the chat window by typing “@MetaAI”.

According to WhatsApp’s Help Center, this feature only works in the English language. In group chats, Meta AI can only read messages that mention @Meta AI, and no other messages. Meta AI cannot be integrated into chats from Meta or WhatsApp. Interestingly, WhatsApp is also accepting feedback from users regarding Meta AI. So, you can tap and hold on to the AI-generated answer, then tap “Good Answer” or “Bad Answer.” You can also enter a reason and submit your feedback.
