Artificial intelligence is not something recent. Its origins date back even to the automata of classical times, and it began to be used frequently during the second half of the 20th century. But now that it has reached the general public, all technology companies intend to introduce it on a daily basis into their products. And the company Meta, responsible for WhatsApp, is no exception.
One of the most promising new features of the popular instant messaging service consists precisely of it. But to tell the truth, How will the ChatGPT integrated into WhatsApp work, which will soon be released in the application? And what is known about him so far? Let’s try to reveal some keys.
WhatsApp’s new artificial intelligence
The first thing, of course, is to put yourself in context. It was only a few days ago when it was announced that, indeed, Meta was preparing an artificial intelligence in the purest ChatGPT style to introduce it into WhatsApp chats. As has been seen so far, It will consist of a special button that will go just above the current one that exists to start a conversation.
Thanks to it, it can be assumed, conversations driven by artificial intelligence will begin, making interacting with it comfortable and intuitive for users. And if something has always characterized WhatsApp, and it is one of the secrets of its success, it is being accessible to everyone, whether or not you have experience in technology, apps and more.
What does the latter mean exactly? Well, Meta’s engineers and designers have a double challenge on the table. On the one hand, create a tool capable of competing with all those that other rival companies, increasingly more sophisticated, have; for the other, Make sure it is an easy-to-use addition that does not confuse users.
Therefore, the roadmap of its creators is clear: ChatGPT. Although AI, as we already said, is not something new, the accessibility of OpenAI technology has brought it closer to a large number of people, who would already use it on a daily basis. Everything seems to suggest that Meta will play the same cards for WhatsApp.
When will WhatsApp’s artificial intelligence be ready?
The concept of WhatsApp’s artificial intelligence does not seem complicated, at least when it comes to its presentation. It will consist of a conversational AI chatbot capable of responding to queries posed to it. Whether only in writing or also by voice, or if it will be possible to interact through images or documents (as is the case with ChatGPT Plus), is something that is still up in the air.
The same as its own release date. Until now, WhatsApp AI is only available to users of its latest beta update. Or what amounts to the same thing, from a very small group of users. The intention is so that the function reaches more people progressively, as has happened with other WhatsApp news.
And what about the rest of the users? For now, there is no exact date that indicates when WhatsApp’s artificial intelligence will be ready for ordinary mortals, but there are approximate calculations, and these They suggest that it will be sometime in 2024.
Although integrating artificial intelligence into WhatsApp is not going to be an easy task, it is clear that the race in everything that concerns this technology does not stop for anyone, and will reward those who are faster. And at Meta, it is clear, they are fully aware of this.
