Meta brings the artificial intelligence chatbot feature to its platforms!

At the recent Meta Connect 2023 event, the standout revelation was the introduction of AI chatbots. Meta unveiled a total of 28 bots, all developed using the company’s open-source Llama 2 large language model (LLM). Interestingly, these bots can access the internet via Bing to deliver current responses to user inquiries.

Each of these 28 chatbots boasts a distinct personality. Meta has designed them to cater to diverse conversational needs. For instance, if you’re seeking travel advice for an upcoming journey, there’s a bot specializing in travel. And if you’re pondering over a new dinner recipe, a culinary expert bot is at your service.

Intriguingly, 15 of these chatbots are modeled after celebrities. Meta acquired licenses to craft AI personas mirroring actors, chefs, athletes, and other notable figures, enriching the user experience. As of now, interactions with these bots are text-based. It’s essential to note that while you can engage in a messaging conversation with, say, Tom Brady’s AI version, a real-life face-to-face encounter remains off the table. The core concept revolves around texting the celebrity’s AI counterpart.

Meta’s full list of AI bots you can chat with:

Lorena (Padma Lakshmi): Travel expert
Bru (Tom Brady): Confident sports debater
Dungeon Master (Snoop Dogg): Adventurous storyteller
Tamika (Naomi Osaka): Anime fanatic

However, instead of selecting a contact, choose the AI Chat option. When you proceed by tapping Continue on the following pop-up, the Chat with AI interface will appear. Here, you can freely engage with any of the available AI personalities, including Meta’s AI assistant.
