WhatsApp Introduces Meta AI Chatbot in India: Here’s What You Need to Know

WhatsApp is teasing a new AI chatbot that promises to change the way people use the messaging app. And now select people in countries like India are getting a taste of what the Llama-powered AI chatbot has to offer WhatsApp users.

Multiple users have shared an update about the Meta AI chatbot appearing on their WhatsApp chat feed, below the + icon, which lets you chat with a new contact. For iPhone users, the Meta AI icon appears on the search bar at the top of the interface.

AI chatbots are everywhere so it’s inevitable that WhatsApp gets them too, courtesy of its parent company Meta. You can activate the Meta AI chatbot just like you chat with any friend or family member on WhatsApp. When you click on an AI chatbot, you will see multiple prompts that can help you start using the chatbot. Some of these options include creating an AI-generated image, asking the AI some simple trivia, and even telling you a scary story. Meta is clearly aware of extending its AI tools to other products. WhatsApp is unlikely to be the only product to get these features but millions of people who use the messaging app will be eager to see the AI tech reach their screens.
