AI chatbots are becoming more and more common, and it seems that Instagram is following suit. Reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi claims that the platform is creating an AI chatbot that is competitive with other social media platforms.
According to screenshots that have been shared, according to ZDNet, this chatbot is made to answer questions and give suggestions. Additionally, users might have the choice between about 30 different personalities in a pool.

Those who have trouble writing messages might find this chatbot to be especially helpful. Additionally, it appears that users will be able to @-mentione the chatbot in other users’ conversations.
It’s unclear which specific AI tools Instagram will use to enable its chatbots.
Even though Meta hasn’t made any formal announcements about the integration of chatbots on its platforms, such a function would be consistent with the company’s prior claims about its AI ambitions.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg mentioned Meta’s ongoing work on AI personas intended to help people in a variety of ways in February. Additionally, he stated that the business was interested in looking into how to make these bots accessible through text messages, much like the chat features found in WhatsApp and Messenger.
This indicates that, although there is currently no information available, we can eventually anticipate seeing similar chatbots on WhatsApp and Messenger.
Although Instagram has not yet responded to a request for comment, it is obvious that an AI chatbot is under development and will likely be unveiled soon enough.
