WhatsApp is working on a feature to create AI chatbots
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.1.24 update, we announced a feature that will introduce a dedicated tab for AI-powered chats. With this tab, users will be able to explore several AI tools. This means that the tab is a centralized hub where users can interact with AI-powered features. For example, users will be able to find new AI-powered tools released by Meta and other third-party creators.
WhatsApp is improving the experience with AI-powered chats ahead of the public release. That's what we discovered with the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.1.26 update, which is available on the Google Play Store. Specifically, WhatsApp is working on a feature that lets users create personalized AI chatbots.
As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is developing a new feature that allows users to create AI chatbots. Currently, users can create their own AI through a dedicated page available on Instagram. However, it seems that WhatsApp will offer the same functionality in the future. This means that WhatsApp will make this feature available directly into the app. As a result, WhatsApp will make AI creation accessible to all users. This feature will make it simpler for users to create an AI without opening the Instagram website.
Users will be able to describe their AI character by specifying what the AI does and what makes it unique and different from others. For example, they can decide what the AI should focus on. Additionally, WhatsApp will show some suggestions and templates for users who may need help. They will ensure that anyone can create an AI and refine it, even those users unfamiliar with this feature.
The AI's personality will be based on the description entered by the user. WhatsApp will use this information to tailor the interactions with the AI. In addition, WhatsApp will ask users to define the AI's role and its objective. For example, users might create an AI that motivates them during workouts. This information will further refine its personality.
This feature is currently under development. However, it is still not confirmed for release. WhatsApp has not shared any official announcement that indicates an interest to release this functionality to users. However, we will keep you posted as soon as we have more details to share.
