Android
iOS
You can create your own, custom Meta AIs through WhatsApp. You can create an AI that only you can see and chat with, or one that anyone can see or chat with. When you create an AI, you can define how it looks, its personality, how it interacts with people, its tone, and how it starts a conversation.
Messages from AIs are generated by artificial intelligence (AI), using a technology from Meta, in response to the prompts you and others send to the AI. Creating and chatting with an AI is optional.
Note:
  • This feature is currently only available in limited countries and might not be available to you yet, even if other users in your country have access.
  • At this time, only English and Spanish are supported.
Examples of things your AI can do include:
  • Tell stories
  • Teach you something new
  • Help you study
  • Talk about shared interests
  • Provide support and encouragement
AIs are subject to the Meta AI Studio Policies.
