Meta Introduces AI Chatbot in Your Instagram DMs for Enhanced User Interaction

On Friday, users noticed a new feature on Instagram: Meta AI, an AI-powered chatbot by Meta that can answer questions, write poetry, and generate images from text prompts. This rollout follows Meta's introduction of the chatbot in September 2023 and its integration into other platforms like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp.

A Meta spokesperson shared insights about Meta AI's current availability, indicating that it is being tested in a limited capacity across various phases of development. Although some users are accessing it, not everyone has the feature yet. Tech media outlet highlighted that Meta AI can be found in Instagram's search bar, as well as in the Direct Messaging inbox.

Interacting with Meta AI is straightforward; you can initiate a conversation as you would with a friend. Users have reported asking the chatbot for word definitions, story headline suggestions, and even generating images of dogs on skateboards. Additionally, it can recommend cat-themed Reels with ease. Interestingly, when a colleague tested Meta AI in WhatsApp for Reels suggestions, it provided similar results, indicating that the functionality across platforms is likely unified rather than uniquely tailored for each app.

By tapping a hamburger menu within the bot, users can access a comprehensive list of actions that Meta AI can perform, enhancing the interactive experience.
