Meta has launched its advanced AI assistant, Meta AI, in India, bringing its capabilities to users of WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. This AI assistant, initially unveiled at last year’s Meta Connect and powered by Llama 3 technology, is designed to assist users with everyday tasks, learning, and creative endeavors. Since its global expansion starting in April, Meta AI is now accessible to users across India.
Here’s how users can leverage Meta AI on different platforms:
1. **WhatsApp**: In group chats, Meta AI can be summoned to provide assistance with planning and suggestions. Users can ask for restaurant recommendations or itinerary ideas directly within their WhatsApp conversations. Look for a blue-purple circle icon at the top of the app once the update is available on your device to access Meta AI.
2. **Instagram**: Within Direct Messages on Instagram, users can interact with Meta AI by typing "@" followed by their query. Meta AI can offer information, help plan events, or generate ideas directly in chat conversations.
3. **Facebook**: On Facebook, Meta AI enhances the user experience by providing additional context and information about posts in the feed. For example, if users encounter a post about the northern lights, they can ask Meta AI for details such as the best time to view them. In Messenger, Meta AI functions similarly to its WhatsApp integration, offering recommendations and interactive elements in conversations.
Meta AI also introduces a notable feature called "Imagine," allowing users to create and share AI-generated content directly from their chats. By using the keyword "imagine" during interactions with Meta AI, users can create personalized event invitations, develop mood boards for home decor ideas, or animate and modify existing images based on new prompts.
For users in India who are awaiting access to Meta AI, the rollout is ongoing, and the update should become available in the coming days. Ensure your Meta apps are updated to the latest version to access Meta AI functionalities promptly. Keep an eye out for the blue-purple icon in WhatsApp or use "@" in Instagram DMs to check for the update status once your apps are updated.
