WhatsApp is reportedly all set to introduce an AI chatbot to its instant messaging platform, and the latest beta version of the app includes a special button for convenient access to the feature.
As noted in the WABetaInfo report, the Chat tab now has a button above the icon to start a new chat. This button facilitates quick opening of AI-powered chats, increasing speed and convenience for users.
The AI chatbot powered by Meta AI was unveiled by Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of WhatsApp’s parent company Meta, in September. He revealed that the company is testing AI-powered chatbots for a specific segment within the USA.
In WhatsApp’s September beta release, the AI chatbot was introduced, but it was hidden within the contact list, making it difficult to locate and initiate conversations. To streamline the process and enhance the user experience, WhatsApp Beta for Android version 2.23.24.26 now includes a small button on the home screen for quick access to the chatbot.
Located directly above the ‘New Chat’ button in the bottom right corner, the button is a white square with a multicolored ring. Tapping on it quickly launches the Meta AI chatbot. It is important to note that AI chatbots are currently an experimental feature and rolled out in limited capacity, the report adds.
