Ever wished your WhatsApp chats could be more interactive or informative? Well, get ready to have some fun! WhatsApp has introduced new AI features that let you chat with virtual assistants and even create images with just a few words.
Getting Started:
- This feature might still be rolling out in your area, so be patient if you don’t see it yet.
- For now, conversations are only in English, but hopefully more languages will be added soon.
- Don’t worry, your private chats are still protected with end-to-end encryption. Chats with AI are separate and clearly marked.
Chatting with AI Assistant:
- Find Your AI Buddy: Open any chat, individual or group. In the message bar, type “@” and you’ll see a list of options pop up. Look for “Meta AI” (or another available AI assistant) and tap on it.
- Agree to the Rules (if first time): If it’s your first chat with an AI assistant, you might need to quickly agree to some terms.
- Ask Away! You’re now connected! Feel free to ask your AI assistant anything that pops into your head. Need help finding a new restaurant? Curious about a random fact? Just ask! Remember, AI assistants can only answer questions that start with “@ + their name” (e.g., “@Meta AI What’s the weather like today?”).
Get Creative with AI-Generated Images:
- Follow Steps 1 & 2 from above.
- Unleash Your Imagination! Now for the fun part! Type “imagine” followed by a description of the image you want to see. Want to see a “Cat surfing on the beach”? Just type “@Meta AI imagine fluffy cat napping on a beach”.
- See Your Vision Come Alive! Hit send, and your AI assistant will use its skills to create an image based on your description.
- Refine Your Masterpiece (Optional): If the image isn’t quite perfect, you can keep giving it instructions! Just reply to the chat with another description starting with “imagine”.
Exploring More AI Features:
- Meta AI might not be your only friend! There could be other AI assistants available, each with their own specialty.
- Want to wipe the slate clean? You can delete all your AI chat history by sending “/reset-all-ais” in any chat with an AI assistant.
So, that’s it! With these easy steps, you’re ready to chat with AI assistants and create some amazing images on WhatsApp. Remember, this feature is still under development, so expect even cooler things to come in the future. Happy chatting (and imagining)!
