Meta has officially launched its advanced artificial intelligence chatbot, Meta AI, in India. Available in English, Meta AI is designed to enhance user experience across popular apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger.
This guide will show you how to get started with Meta AI, navigate its features, and integrate it into your daily digital activities.
Language Barrier: Meta AI in India currently operates only in English, which might be a limitation for users who speak other Indian languages.
AI Bias: There have been reports of Meta AI's image generation showing biases, particularly when creating images of people from India.
Ensure you have the latest versions of WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, or Messenger. Visit the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to update your apps to their most recent versions.
After these platforms have updated your apps, Meta AI will show up as an integrated feature. It is available to help you with different tasks and can be found in the search bar, feed, or chat functionalities.
Enter any chat by opening WhatsApp. "@Meta AI" should come first in your message, then your question or request. Writing emails, compiling messages, interpreting text, and other duties are among the many things that Meta AI can help with.
Mention Meta AI in group chats for collaborative assistance. Use "@Meta AI" to request help with tasks like organizing events or choosing a group activity. For example, to get a summary of a long message, type "@Meta AI summarize this message."
Use the search bar in WhatsApp to enter queries directly. Meta AI will provide relevant responses based on your input.
Use the Facebook app's search bar at the top to communicate with Meta AI. Enter your query to get information or to get chores done, like translating or summarizing articles.
You could notice Meta AI prompts on posts when you go through your Facebook page. To pose inquiries about the material you view, click on these prompts. For example, you can inquire about the ideal time to visit a place if you come on a travel article. You may easily get event ideas by putting "suggest birthday party themes" into the search field.
Use Instagram's search bar to interact with Meta AI. Enter queries to get recommendations for Reels, posts, or hashtags tailored to your interests.
Meta AI can suggest Reels based on your searches or viewing habits. Use it to discover new content or get answers related to posts. For example, type "@Meta AI suggest Reels on travel" to get a list of interesting travel-related Reels.
Open a chat in Messenger and start typing "@Meta AI" followed by your question. Meta AI can help draft messages, plan activities, or provide information on various topics.
Mention Meta AI in group conversations to get assistance with group tasks. Type "@Meta AI" in your message to interact with the chatbot. For instance, ask "@Meta AI recommend a good book" to receive book suggestions tailored to your preferences.
When requesting help from Meta AI, clarity is key. Specific queries result in more accurate and useful responses.
For creative endeavors or social media postings, Meta AI may produce photos based on your prompts. Try out several questions to discover what Meta AI can come up with for you.
Meta AI is continually evolving with new features and improvements. Keep an eye out for updates to make the most of its capabilities.
Meta AI may not be available to all users immediately due to a phased rollout. If you cannot access it yet, check back later or visit the Meta AI website for updates.
Meta AI enters a competitive space already occupied by Google's Gemini. Launched a week prior, Gemini offers a key advantage: support for nine Indian languages. This caters to the diverse linguistic landscape of India and allows users to interact with Gemini through text, voice commands, or even by adding images.
