AI
You will be able to voice chat with an AI within WhatsApp
You will soon be able to have a voice conversation with artificial intelligence on WhatsApp, according to information from WABetaInfo. The publication claims to have found snippets of code indicating that the application will have a floating button in the chat list to start conversations with Meta IA, a type of ChatGPT developed by the owner of WhatsApp.
By touching the button, Meta AI would go into operation in "hands-free" mode, that is, it would remain constantly active, listening to the user and answering their questions without having to touch the cell phone during each interaction.
To deactivate continuous listening, simply tap the Meta AI button again to end the chat with the tool or switch to text conversation mode.
It is not yet clear which voice commands will be available to the user, but considering that it is a conversational generative AI, it is likely that you can use the messenger to answer questions, request improvements to texts, create code and more. What we don't yet know is whether it will be possible to ask Meta IA to compose a text message and send it directly to a specific contact via WhatsApp, for example.
Additionally, the feature should allow users to customize Meta AI's voice in some way, making the assistant more user-friendly. Code snippets indicating the addition of these features were found in Beta version 2.24.18.18 of WhatsApp, available on Google's Play Store. So, voice chat with Meta AI is expected to come to Android first.
There is still no estimate of when these new features will be available in the stable version of WhatsApp, which is the version installed on most smartphones.
That is not surprising. We are rapidly moving towards a world where everything is different.
It is imperative to get the data on Hive.
