WhatsApp’s new feature will allow users to design AI chatbots with customizable personalities and goals.

The AI ​​creation process will include pre-made templates and suggestions for easy customization.

Although no official release date has been confirmed, the feature is expected to be available in the coming months.

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to create their own AI chatbots. According to reports, the Meta-owned instant messaging platform has added a new feature with the new beta version for Android. This feature will allow users to design and customize their own AI-powered chatbots within the app.

It seems that WhatsApp is integrating the functionality into the application from the personal area of ​​​​Instagram in order to provide a better user experience to the users. With this new feature, users will be able to create their own AI companions quickly and easily.

Users only need to provide detailed descriptions of the AI’s personalities, along with their purpose, objectives, and distinguishing characteristics. For example, users will be able to choose whether the AI ​​companion will focus on productivity, entertainment, or personal assistance. Users can also provide helpful suggestions, such as pre-made templates or examples of popular AI profiles, to help others get started.

However, description will play an important role in shaping AI interaction. The tech giant will adapt AI behavior based on user inputs, allowing them to perform specific tasks such as motivating them during a workout or managing tight deadlines.

It’s worth noting that the tech giant hasn’t made any official announcement about the feature or its release date. But it seems that WhatsApp is now also in the AI ​​race. This update comes after the discovery of a tab dedicated to AI tools in the previous beta version of WhatsApp for Android version 2.25.1.24. This tab allows users to easily explore and interact with new AI bots.

There is no confirmed timeline for when the feature will be available to the public, but we expect it to be available to users in the coming months.
