We’ve all marveled at ChatGPT’s human-like accuracy in answering questions and helping with daily tasks. Now, envision having this generative AI capability within your most-used smartphone app. Meta has made this possible with Meta AI.
Meta AI, powered by Meta’s proprietary large language model (LLM), LLaMA 3, is now available on WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram. LLaMA 3 enhances Meta AI’s intelligence, speed, enjoyment, and personalization. This AI, trained on an extensive dataset of 15 trillion tokens, produces human-like responses directly within the apps.
You can use Meta AI in feeds, chats, and more across Meta apps to create content, explore topics, and accomplish tasks without leaving the app. For those preferring desktop use, Meta AI is accessible at meta.ai. Currently, in India, the AI assistant supports only English.
On WhatsApp, Meta AI can answer questions, provide information, and chat with users. If the AI assistant cannot find the needed information, it can access the internet to fill in the gaps.
It’s crucial to note that Meta AI only reads and replies to questions that mention @MetaAI. Meta assures that all personal messages and calls remain end-to-end encrypted, meaning neither Meta nor WhatsApp can access them.
How to Use Meta AI
First, ensure your WhatsApp app is updated, whether on Android or iOS. Once updated, a purple-blue ring will appear to access Meta AI. On iOS, the ring is at the top right next to the camera icon, and on Android, it is at the bottom right above the plus icon for group chats. Clicking the icon will open the Meta AI chat instantly.
Using Meta AI in group chats is just as exciting. Open a group chat, type @MetaAI in the input box to invoke the AI Assistant. You may be prompted to read and accept the terms. After accepting, type your prompt and click the input icon. The AI message will display in the chat. You can also respond to the AI by selecting the message and clicking the reply option.
The Smart Assistant at Your Fingertips
With Meta AI on WhatsApp, generating ideas and diving deep into topics is instant, and you can share them immediately on the platform. This saves you time by eliminating the need to switch to other apps like Google or ChatGPT, keeping your conversations seamless.
Meta AI can engage in casual chats on various subjects, providing informative and detailed answers while maintaining a friendly tone. It also acts as a search assistant, pulling relevant information from the web within the app. Moreover, Meta AI simplifies image generation—describe the image you want, and it will create a photorealistic image based on your prompt.
Meta AI is an excellent tool for enhancing productivity at work. It can adjust the tone of your messages, assist in writing emails, and facilitate formal communications effortlessly. Additionally, it helps organize meeting notes, generate new ideas, and find inspiration for writing.
In essence, Meta AI is a powerful assistant that enhances your digital interactions, making them more efficient and enjoyable.
