Meta AI Chat is yet another AI-powered chatbot launched by a big-tech company. How do you get it? Don’t worry; we’ll break it for you.
Meta has launched a new AI tool called Meta AI to help people connect in more exciting ways. This comes after the success of ChatGPT, which has sparked a wave of interest in AI chatbots.
However, Meta AI is a bit different from other chatbots. It was announced at Meta Connect 2023 alongside the Quest 3 MR headset, and it’s designed to help people communicate easily. For example, you could use it to finalize plans for a trip with friends or search for information online without leaving any of Meta’s many apps.
Meta AI is still in beta testing and is currently only available in the US. You can access it through Instagram, Messenger, or WhatsApp. One of the coolest features is that you can chat with over 28 different AI avatars, including some based on famous celebrities like Mr. Beast and Charli D’Amelio.
