WhatsApp has introduced the highly anticipated Meta AI chatbot, now available in Pakistan. No manual download of a new WhatsApp update is required as this is a server-side change. However, it’s advisable to keep the app updated to access new features promptly.
Accessing Meta AI is straightforward; simply tap the new search bar labeled “Ask Meta AI or Search” at the top. Alternatively, you can tap the Meta AI icon above the button to initiate new chats. Similar to ChatGPT, Meta AI operates as a conversational AI chatbot, responding to typed queries or prompts. It’s powered by Meta’s Llama 2 open-source AI model.
Initially, Meta AI offers a variety of prompt options like “Help set fitness goals” or “Solo travel benefits.” However, users can input their prompts through the text box at the bottom. Additionally, emojis can be used for interaction.
Distinguishing itself from ChatGPT, Meta AI can generate AI images in less than a minute. Though these images are of a small resolution and labeled as AI-made, they can be easily downloaded and shared like any other WhatsApp media. Meta AI functionality extends to group chats as well.
Interestingly, on WhatsApp Desktop, Meta AI is referred to as “AI Character,” although it remains the same feature under a different name. This chat syncs across all devices, ensuring consistency in messages between your phone and desktop.
