Meta, the social media giant, has officially rolled out its AI chatbot in India, bringing artificial intelligence directly into users’ messaging experience. The chatbot, known as Meta AI, is now available on both WhatsApp and Instagram, offering a range of features to enhance interactions within these platforms.

Introduction

Meta AI is a versatile assistant powered by a large language model. It enables users to engage in conversations, find information, and receive recommendations—all within the familiar interface of WhatsApp and Instagram. Similar to other AI models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot, Meta AI can answer questions, generate text and images, translate languages, and provide creative suggestions.

Key Features:

1. Conversational Assistance: Users can interact with Meta AI in both personal and group chats. Whether you need advice, news updates, or creative prompts, Meta AI is there to assist.
2. Image Generation: By using prompts, users can generate photorealistic images directly within the chat. Whether it’s visualizing an idea or creating content, Meta AI offers a powerful image generation capability.
3. Language Translation: This AI can translate languages, making it useful for cross-cultural communication.

1. Update WhatsApp: Ensure that you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed from the Play Store or App Store.
