Meta has officially launched its Meta AI chatbot service on WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram for the Indian market. This comes after a period of testing (Thailand has not yet been included).
The Meta AI leverages the Llama 3 model to provide interactive responses through chat apps. Users can engage with Meta AI in one-on-one conversations or add it to group chats for assistance, information retrieval, and planning. Additionally, users can even request the AI to generate images based on text input within the chat interface.
Beyond the chat apps, the main Facebook app has integrated the Meta AI feature to provide additional insights on posts seen in the feed. For example, watching a guitar player in a video may prompt the bot to offer a button for song recommendations or chord tutorials related to the music being played. Upon clicking, a chat window opens overlaid on the feed to facilitate further inquiries.
The introduction of Meta AI in India is significant considering Google recently launched the full-fledged Gemini app in the country, supporting up to 9 local languages. This suggests a fierce competition among tech giants to tap into the massive customer base in India, especially as AI chat technologies continue to proliferate.
TLDR: Meta unveils Meta AI chatbot service in India, powered by Llama 3 model for interactive responses across WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram. The move follows a trend of tech giants targeting the Indian market with localized AI solutions.
