WhatsApp, the Meta-owned instant messaging platform, is working on an AI chatbot, and it looks like the tool is close to being ready, as WhatsApp’s popular update tracker, WABetaInfo, recently spotted the chatbot in a beta update rolled out to testers. WhatsApp first announced its plans for the AI chatbot at Meta Connect 2023, which was held in September.
This is what the Meta AI button will look like on WhatsApp
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp Android beta version 2.23.24.26 is marked as compatible. This particular version, available on the Google Play Store (for limited users), contains a dedicated AI assistant button over the new chat button. WABetaInfo also shared a screenshot of the same, where the button is shown as a colored circle outline.
Previously, the WhatsApp AI chatbot was released in a beta version rolled out in September, but it was hidden in the contacts section, making it difficult for users to find it and initiate a conversation. However, the new update adds a button to the app’s home screen, making the Assistant much more accessible than it was.
What the action button could do
By pressing the square button with a colored ring, users will be able to chat with Meta AI, Meta’s in-house AI chatbot, where users can ask their questions about anything, including complex science concepts, a riddle and more. other topics of discussion. This is the same AI technology that powers the recently launched Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
In the near future, Meta is expected to launch its AI chatbot for other platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook. Additionally, WhatsApp is also expected to release this feature as part of its stable update for Android and iOS users.
It is worth mentioning that WhatsApp is not the first company to integrate an AI chatbot into its application. Popular photo and video sharing platform Snapchat has already implemented My AI. Initially, the platform provided My AI to Snapchat+ users, but later rolled out the tool to everyone.
