Tech platforms think talking to your friends or strangers isn’t enough so now they want to add an AI chatbot to your social media circle. First it was Snapchat with its ‘My AI’ chatbot, and now Instagram is also working on an AI chatbot for the platform. These AI chatbots are similar to ChatGPT wherein you can ask questions, and even advice in the case of Instagram.
Instagram AI chatbot
Instagram’s AI chatbot is currently in the works and it was discovered by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi who regularly shares updates on the app. According to the screenshots, Instagram’s AI chatbot will answer your questions and give advice as well. There are also 30 AI personalities to choose from, and you can pick the one you prefer the most.
Instagram also wants you to “find the best way to express yourself and get help writing messages.” So you will most likely get advice on how to write messages on Instagram. This feature is still in the works, and it’s not clear whether Instagram will launch it in the future. But considering how Instagram is very experimental, and it’s history of getting inspiration from other apps, it’s very likely the AI chatbot will arrive on the app.
We don’t know how exactly it will work on Instagram yet but we’re expecting it to be similar to Snapchat’s My AI chatbot. Snapchat users can chat with this AI chatbot and ask questions. Built using OpenAI’s GPT technology that powers ChatGPT, My AI can also suggest recommendations from Snap Map, relevant lenses, weekend activities, and more. But Snapchat’s My AI already landed up in some trouble when it gave advice on how you can mask the smell of alcohol and weed, to a teenager.
In addition to the AI chatbot, Instagram is also working on a text-based app that could serve as an alternative to Twitter. It’s going to be a separate app but it will work with your Instagram account and pull all you content and data as well. This app is also expected to launch this month. As for the AI chatbot, there’s no speculation yet on when the feature will roll out.
