CREATE AI CHATBOTS
In the article about the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.1.26 update, we announced that a feature to create personalized AI chatbots was under development. This feature would allow users to design and customize their own AI directly within the app, making the creation process intuitive and accessible to everyone. It appears that WhatsApp now intends to bring the same experience with creating chatbots to iOS users in the future, ensuring a consistent experience across both platforms. Thanks to the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 25.6.10.70 update, which is available on the TestFlight app, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on a feature to create personalized AI chatbots!
As you can see from the attached screenshot, WhatsApp is exploring the implementation of a feature that allows users to create their own AI character by providing specific details about its personality and role. This means users will have greater control over their AI’s behavior, allowing them to tailor interactions based on their specific preferences. This feature is scheduled for release in a future update and will be available to users who already have access to Meta AI and other chatbots, since it builds upon the existing AI infrastructure within Meta.
To generate a unique AI character, WhatsApp will ask users to provide important information, such as what the AI should be able to do and what makes it different from others. This will help define the chatbot's purpose and distinguish it from existing AI profiles. Users will be able to decide whether their AI will focus on productivity, entertainment, or assistance. Creating an AI character involves carefully defining its personality traits and roles. By refining these elements, users will be able to design AI companions that cater to their specific needs, whether for motivation, organization, or fun.
To simplify the process, WhatsApp will offer predefined answers that users can choose from if they don't want to start from scratch. These suggestions will act as a foundation, making AI creation more approachable for everyone. However, users will still have the option to customize every aspect of their AI, ensuring that it aligns with their personal vision. After defining the AI's primary traits, WhatsApp will ask for additional details regarding its personality and role. Some of these details will be automatically filled in based on the initial description, providing a seamless experience. Despite this, users will have full control over these details, as WhatsApp allows them to edit, remove, or add personality traits and roles according to their preferences.
All these inputs, along with other details that WhatsApp may request later in the setup process, will contribute to shaping the AI profile. Once completed, the AI character can be published in the AI tab, a feature we previously discussed in the article about the WhatsApp beta for iOS 25.3.10.73 update. This publication will enable other users to discover and interact with the AI, as it will be visible within the AI tab alongside other chatbots. Users will be able to explore different AI characters, each with unique personalities and roles, making the experience more engaging and diverse in the future.
A feature to create personalized AI chatbots is under development and it will be available in a future update of the app. We will keep you updated on any further developments about this feature until it's officially released.
