WhatsApp Gets Inbuilt Artifical Intelligence

In an exciting development, Meta has introduced its latest artificial intelligence offering, Meta AI, powered by the cutting-edge open-source Llama 3 language model. Remarkably, the tech giant has chosen to debut this enhanced AI assistant through an inclusive integration with the widely popular messaging app, WhatsApp, and other Meta-owned platforms. Zimbabwe finds itself among the select few countries granted early access to this innovative technology.

Zimbabwean users can now experience the power of Meta AI right within their WhatsApp conversations. By accessing the search bar at the top of their chat screen, they will be presented with a range of suggested queries. Additionally, Meta AI has its dedicated chat interface, resembling a typical contact conversation, where the AI assistant responds directly. Ensuring access to this cutting-edge feature is as seamless as possible. If you don't see this new feature in your WhatsApp search, update WhatsApp to the latest version through your respective app stores.

This integration represents a significant departure from traditional methods of accessing AI assistants, as it brings the convenience of AI directly to the messaging platform's search bar. With millions of WhatsApp users in Zimbabwe, this development is poised to popularize AI usage in the country significantly.

The revamped Meta AI boasts remarkable capabilities and performance, positioning it as "the most intelligent AI assistant that you can freely use," according to Meta. Notable features include seamless integration into popular apps such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger through the search bar, as well as a dedicated website at meta.ai. Users can now ask written questions, engage in chat-based conversations, generate ideas, and even create animated images directly through WhatsApp, unlocking new potential of AI to Zimbabwean users.
