By WhatsApp is soon bringing a feature that will allow users to create their own AI chatbot, which will talk like a virtual friend. You will be able to decide the nature, role and avatar of this digital companion as per your choice.
If you sometimes feel lonely and want someone to listen to you, then now you will have a unique option. An AI friend who will always be with you, exactly according to your choice.
Meta is soon going to launch a new feature on WhatsApp, through which you will be able to create your own personal AI chatbot. This chatbot will be such a virtual companion, which will talk based on the information given by you, will help you and will also have fun conversations to pass the time.
How will your digital friend be?
The most special thing about this new feature is that you can decide the entire character of your AI friend yourself. You can tell what his nature should be like, should he be calm, who talks slowly? Or should he be an enthusiastic and inspiring companion who motivates you? If you want, you can make it a study buddy who helps you in your studies, or a coach who guides you in planning your day.
You can also give it a face, an avatar, which you either choose yourself or get it prepared through AI. This means that now while drinking tea alone, you will have a ‘virtual friend’ of your choice.
How will your AI partner be made?
The name of this feature is “Create an AI” and currently some Android users have got a chance to try it in beta version. In the coming time, it will be available to everyone. In this tool, you can give a description of up to 1,000 characters about what kind of AI you should have. That is, what should be its role, in what tone it should speak, and what should be its purpose.
Meta will also provide some pre-made templates in it, like “friend”, “guide”, “coach” or “mentor”, which will make it even easier for you to create a chatbot.
You can also share it
Once your digital friend is ready, you can keep it only in your chat or share it with others if you want. For example, if your AI chatbot helps in learning a language, then it can be sent to a study group. On the other hand, if it is a personal companion who understands your feelings, then you can keep it only for yourself.
When will this feature come?
Although Meta has not yet revealed the launch date of this feature, but according to tech news, it may be available to more people in the coming weeks. Loneliness is a common feeling, but technology is now ready to help you in this too. This new feature of WhatsApp will not only bring technology closer to you, but can also be helpful in your mental health and productivity. Now wait for that moment when your ‘digital friend’ will be just a click away.
