Meta Adds AI Chatbot to Instagram DMs, But Fails to Customize for Platform
• Meta is adding its AI chatbot, Meta AI, to Instagram DMs. It's been testing the bot on other platforms like Facebook Messenger.
• Some Instagram users noticed Meta AI showing up in their search bars or DMs inbox. Tapping it lets you chat with the AI.
• You can ask Meta AI to define words, suggest headlines, generate images, recommend Reels, etc.
• Meta seems to be shoehorning the same Meta AI chatbot into all its apps rather than customizing it for Instagram.
• Meta AI provides a huge list of possible conversational actions, some seemingly irrelevant for Instagram like debating exercise or travel tips.
