Meta AI comes to WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram in India

Meta is announcing wider availability of its generative AI chatbot, “Meta AI,” to all WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram users in India today. The company had initially deployed the chatbot in April for testing with select users.

Meta AI is powered by Meta’s latest Llama 3 large language model. It is currently available only in English. Meta has integrated it directly into WhatsApp group chats, so it can for instance recommend restaurants for your next outing. Meta AI is available on the web as well where it can help create a multiple-choice test for study practice, so on and so forth.

Meta AI’s capabilities extend beyond WhatsApp and web. As you scroll through your Facebook Feed, Meta AI is there to enhance your experience. If you come across an intriguing post, you can ask Meta AI for more information directly from the post.

One standout feature of Meta AI is its text-to-image generation, activated by using the word “imagine.” Whether in a direct interaction or a group chat, you can create and share images effortlessly. This “Imagine” feature allows you to spark creativity, enabling you to design a custom invite for your child’s birthday party or collaborate with friends to create fun, imaginative images, Meta says.

The functionality doesn’t end there. If you find an image you love, you can ask Meta AI to animate it or refine it based on new prompts, providing endless possibilities for creative exploration.

Meta AI’s integration into WhatsApp and Facebook is set to transform how users organise activities, seek information, and express creativity, owing to the immense scale the apps have in India. Meta AI rollout is coming only days after Google announced the general availability of its Gemini AI chatbot in India. With Meta AI joining the race, users have more choice to pick and choose from apart from just ChatGPT, which has single-handedly dominated the AI chatbot market so far.
