Instagram Is Testing ChatBots In DMs

ChatBots In DMs

Generative AI is everyone’s favourite and Meta is no exception with Instagram testing chatbots in DMs.

As you can see in this example below, shared by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi, Instagram’s currently developing a new AI chat option (ChatBots In DMs) that would enable you to ask questions of an AI system within any chat thread.

Another example – by typing @ai into the chat field, you’d then be diverted to its AI chatbot (ChatBots In DMs), which would be available to answer your questions at any time. So, much like My AI, the bot will incorporate AI responses into a discussion, adding another element to your Instagram DMs.

In the words of Mark Zuckerberg –

“In the short term, we’ll focus on building creative and expressive tools. Over the longer term, we’ll focus on developing AI personas that can help people in a variety of ways. We’re exploring experiences with text (like cat in WhatsApp and Messenger), with images (like creative Instagram filters and ad formats), and with video and multi-modal experiences.”

Currently, ChatBots In DMs are in testing phase with no roll out information.
