AI STUDIO
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.9.9 update, we announced that Meta started limited testing of Meta AI on WhatsApp in different countries. This release allowed a select group of users to experience the new feature, which integrates Meta AI directly into the search bar while preserving privacy, and into the top app bar for easier access. Although Meta is still working on bringing Meta AI to more countries, it appears that WhatsApp is now focusing on further refining the experience with chatbots, with the aim to enhance the functionality and capabilities of AI interactions. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.24.15.10 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is rolling out an AI Studio feature with additional chatbots!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, some beta testers can now experiment with AI Studio, an optional feature to provide them with an array of personalized chatbots for any specific needs or preferences. In this redesigned section, users can explore a new variety of helpful and fun AIs, created by Meta and others. This indicates that WhatsApp is also considering the possibility of allowing external creators to develop their own AI chatbots in the future, expanding the range of available AIs. It's important to note that personal messages in chats and groups always stay private and are never sent to Meta because they remain end-to-end encrypted, and Meta may use AI messages manually shared with chatbots to improve AI quality for all users.
This feature is designed to enhance user experience by enabling more specific and contextually relevant assistance while simplifying tasks. Users can interact with their favorite chatbots to handle various tasks, from answering frequently asked questions to providing recommendations based on their preferences. We believe that the rollout of AI Studio represents the commitment to leveraging artificial intelligence to improve user engagement and satisfaction, ensuring an enhanced integration into everyday interactions.
An AI Studio feature with additional chatbots is available to some beta testers who install the latest updates of WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store, and it is rolling out to even more people over the coming weeks.
