Meta, the parent company of social media platform Facebook, has started the testing of its AI chatbot across WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger with select users in India.
Like Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, users can engage the chatbot by tapping the Meta AI icon in the search bar. From there, they can engage directly with the chatbot, which acts as a general-purpose assistant that can respond to a variety of queries, including those pertaining to real-time information.
In addition to providing answers to queries, the assistant includes a link to the page where the precise query can be searched on Google and cites the sources used to get the answer in a footnote.
