Meta hastened to embed his goal assistant AI in all his properties, including WhatsApp. Now, it seems that the technology giant is extending the strategy with a dedicated widget, as discovered for the first time byWabetainfo. This comes after WhatsApp expanded goal AI from a floating action button to an integration of the search bar and then the chat label that allows you to add it to the group’s chat.
The Widget will give you a touch to your text search, camera -based queries and voice entry for hands -free interactions. Whether this is useful or simply something else that crows your home screen depends on how much you really want an assistant of the integrated in your messages.
The idea is that, instead of changing to chatgpt or perplexity, you can get a goal AI inside WhatsApp and shoot a question without having to open the application first, since it is just from a widget. If that is convenient or annoying it probably depends on your disposition. There have been complaints about which ai is too intrusive, so making it more deeply integrated is a questionable goal decision.
If this addition is useful or simply another experiment in search of a problem will probably depend on how much you really need to talk with goal AI.
Fortunately, if you fall into the “no thanks” camp, you can disable it completely entering configurations> chats and alternating the goal button AI. At least for now, choose to leave is still an option.
As a goal, he is betting great in AI’s integration, WhatsApp is a main objective simply due to its massive user base. If even a fraction of their billions of users start casually using a goal AI, that is a victory in the battle for AI domain. But if users continue to disable the feature or ignore it completely, it could be another forgotten experiment, such as Facebook attempt to make metack a thing.
