A few months ago, Meta AI in India started integrating its ChatGPT-like AI-powered chatbot into WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger. The company says the new text-based experiences are powered by Llama 2, but it is using Llama 3 for photo creation capabilities.
Like WhatsApp, Meta AI on Instagram can be accessed by swiping right from the main screen and tapping on the top search bar in the DM section of the app. Once you open Meta AI, you can either ask the chatbot a question of your choice or tap on some pre-written prompts. Once a conversation with the chatbot starts, it will appear under your messages.
What can Meta AI do on Instagram?
Powered by a combination of Llama 2 and Llama 3 big language models, Meta AI can help you with multiple tasks like creating stickers from scratch, helping you draft captions, writing messages, drawing images, planning trips, summarizing long paragraphs, extracting details of text and even help you get the latest news headlines.
However, as is the case with AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI-powered search engines like Perplexity, meta AI can sometimes be wrong and prone to hallucinations. And while you can modify images generated by meta AI, which is the equivalent of a DALL-E-powered Microsoft designer, sometimes the generated image may not be exactly the same as your signal.
Due to privacy concerns, it seems Meta doesn’t give its AI chatbot access to personal conversations, but you can use Meta AI to rewrite, shorten, lengthen or make your personal message funnier or more helpful, or add emojis to it. If you want to use Meta AI while talking to someone, tap the pencil-like button to the left of the text bar to modify your written text.
Like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini, Meta AI on Instagram can also come in handy for planning trips, getting recipes for dishes you come across, etc. but it cannot analyze files like these popular chatbots.
