Beginning with its most recent beta release for iOS, version 25.17.10.75, which is accessible via the TestFlight program, WhatsApp has began rolling out a feature that enables users to build customized chatbots powered by artificial intelligence inside the app.
Some beta testers now have the ability to develop and personalize artificial intelligence conversation helpers straight inside WhatsApp thanks to this new capability. Previously, in order for users to use this function, they were required to either visit Meta AI Studio or utilize Instagram and Messenger. Direct integration with WhatsApp provides a more streamlined and user-friendly experience than other connection methods.
Users have the ability to customize every element of their chatbot, including its name, personality, tone, look, and intended purpose. This feature is comparable to OpenAI’s Custom GPTs application. Consider it to be WhatsApp’s equivalent of OpenAI’s functionality that allows users to create their own GPT.
A study coach, a trip planner, or a motivational assistant are an example of positions that have been suggested. WhatsApp users are led through a systematic setup process, during which they are provided with templates and intelligent recommendations depending on the decisions they have made in the past.
The choices that are shown to users at each level are tailored to the inputs that they have supplied. In addition, WhatsApp creates a visual AI avatar for its users, which they may customize to better reflect the personality of their personal helper.
Sharing-capable chatbots
Once the configuration of the chatbot has been finished, users will be able to instantly begin conversing with their chosen helper. Users who wish to make their assistant available to friends or groups may take use of WhatsApp’s shareable link feature, which allows them to do so even while the chatbot is set to automatically be private.
When it comes to chatbots that are designed to give general aid or amusement, such as fitness coaching or vacation guidance, this functionality is very helpful. Private usage is still appropriate for apps that are primarily intended for personal use, such as keeping a diary or managing tasks, or even having an artificial girlfriend.
Rollout and Availability of the Product
At this time, the function is only accessible to a select group of beta testers; but, over the next several weeks, it will progressively become accessible to a greater number of people. A particular release schedule for WhatsApp’s worldwide version has not been announced by the company.
