What Is Meta AI?

Meta AI is an artificial intelligence laboratory under the umbrella of Meta Platforms. Its primary goal is to advance various forms of AI, including augmented reality technology and applied machine learning. 

In early December 2023, Meta announced they are testing over 20 new ways to improve user experiences through generative AI. The company promised to elevate the interactions on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp. Its features cover search, social discovery, ads, and business messaging. Plus, it will continuously evolve to leverage other innovative capabilities while enhancing the messaging experience. 

For now, access to Meta’s new AI chatbot will only be granted to academic researchers, government, civil society, and academic organizations on a case-by-case basis. 

How to use Meta AI in Whatsapp, Instagram, and Messenger

Meta AI works as a virtual assistant users can rely on to answer questions, generate photorealistic images, etc. Using Meta AI in Meta apps is simple and user-friendly. 

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use Meta AI within WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger: 

1. Access the app: Open the app on your smartphone and enter the chat or group chat where you want to use Meta AI. Note that Meta AI is still in beta version and unavailable on desktop. 

2. Invoke the Meta AI: To activate Meta AI, type “@MetaAI” in the chat. This will be your command to get Meta AI’s attention. 

3. Specify your request: After the “@MetaAI” command, describe what you would like the chatbot to do or provide. For example, you could ask for information, suggestions, or a creative task. Be clear and specific in your request. You can also generate images by writing “/imagine” followed by your text prompt in the message field.

4. Receive Meta AI’s response: Once you have entered your request, Meta AI will process it and respond within the chat. Depending on your request, the response may include information, recommendations, or images. 

5. Engage in conversation: Based on its response, you can continue talking with Meta AI. If you have follow-up questions, feel free to ask, and Meta AI will do its best to provide information. 

6. Enjoy the benefits: Whether looking for information, making decisions, or adding creativity to your chats, the Meta AI enhances your conversations. Use its capabilities to streamline your interactions and enjoy the various tasks it can perform. 

You can use Meta AI in your WhatsApp group chats to ask questions or get advice. Others in the chat will be able to see your messages to Meta AI as well as Meta AI’s response. This feature is only available in limited countries and might be available later.

At this time, only the English language is supported.

What to Do When Meta AI Is Not Working

Here’s what you need to know in case Meta AI is not working:

Currently, limited countries may use Meta AI and only support English. So, if you live outside these countries, you must either wait for its official roll-out or use it with a VPN connection. 

Again, Meta AI is only a meta version right now. The new chatbot for Meta Platforms can produce text, voice, and images. It has direct access to information because of its relationship with Microsoft’s Bing search engine. However, the company said the AI chatbot would only be able to pick up data created before 2023. 

Supercharging Your Chats

 The new AI chatbot could help you curate shareable contents across all channels. Imagine Meta AI as a friendly virtual assistant to help you streamline the content creation process.

While waiting for the widespread launch of Meta AI, you can still harness the power of artificial intelligence in creating compelling social media content. Many AI tools for digital marketing are available to attract audiences, increase brand awareness, and foster customer loyalty. It’s up to you what tools to prioritize in formulating a comprehensive roadmap to utilize AI in creating engaging content. 

Engaging content should be shared, expanding its visibility to a broader audience. Elevating your social media content and broadening audience reach can be measured in different types such as Likes, Comments, Shares, and Mentions. Users who are actively interacting with content play a crucial role in raising awareness about the brand or individual behind it. Regular engagement builds stronger relationships and increases customer loyalty. 

AI tools bring a variety of exciting features to the table, making social media content creation a breeze! From crafting content to analyzing trends and even understanding audience sentiments, these tools offer a plethora of functions. They sift through heaps of data to decode what users love, what’s trending, and how your audience behaves. With AI at the helm, creating content becomes more efficient and engaging. Remember to pick AI tools that fit your needs by assessing their features, compatibility with your systems, user-friendliness, support availability, and cost-effectiveness. Let’s embark on this AI-powered journey to supercharge your social media content creation!

Privacy and Security Considerations

Meta Platform, Inc. makes earnest efforts to put social media users first and protect their privacy and integrity. The company sets privacy controls to foster responsible AI utilization for positive and respectful communication. 

Meta uses AI chats that are consistent with the company’s privacy policy. Users agree to Meta’s AI Terms of Service by using this feature. Users can delete individual chats with AIs or request the deletion of information they previously shared with Meta AI. 

Creating Human-Like Conversations

Creating a human-like conversation with Meta AI in WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger chats is an exciting feature that social media users anticipate. They can interact with the chatbot, ask for recommendations, and even request visuals for their creative content. 

While the availability of these features is currently limited, it offers a new approach to connect and learn within the Meta platforms. As the technology evolves, everyone can expect more regions and languages to be included in the supported list, making Meta AI accessible to a broader audience.
