Snapchat has joined the trend of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology, as it recently unveiled its own chatbot called "My AI". The chatbot uses the latest version of OpenAI's GPT technology, which has been tailored to suit Snapchat's user base. The feature is currently available on an experimental basis for Snapchat+, the platform's subscription service that costs $3.99 per month.
Snapchat has launched its new chatbot, "My AI", which will be located at the top of the Chat tab. The chatbot is capable of performing various tasks such as answering trivia questions or writing haikus. It has been customized to have a distinct voice and personality, in line with Snapchat's values of friendship, learning, and fun. My AI has also been designed to adhere to the app's trust and safety guidelines.
Users can personalize their experience by giving the chatbot a name and customizing their chat wallpaper. Although conversations with My AI will be stored and reviewed to improve the product, users are advised not to share any confidential information with the chatbot or rely on it for advice. The chatbot is not a search engine but is rather intended to be an interactive persona within Snapchat. My AI has been designed to avoid biased, incorrect, harmful or misleading information, but Snapchat acknowledges that errors may occur. The company encourages users to provide feedback by holding down any message from My AI.
Snapchat believes that incorporating AI technology into its messaging platform has the potential to enhance user engagement and connection. The company notes that the chatbot has been designed to avoid harmful or misleading topics, given its significant youth audience. The addition of My AI may also contribute to increased paid subscribers for the platform, which has surpassed two million users.
