What is Snapchat ‘My AI’ Chatbot Powered with ChatGPT:
My AI is Snapchat’s new experimental feature for Snapchat+ members. The feature is powered by artificial intelligence and acts as a companion while chatting with friends. Snap announced the launch of My AI in a recent blog post exclusively for its US-based Snapchat+ members.
The Chatbot can suggest gifts for your BFF, assist in planning trips, write poems, and even give dinner suggestions. The Chatbot is trained to have fun conversations in polite language, not including words that trigger violence or sexually explicit content. You can talk to My AI like a friend and share your likes and dislikes.
For a personalized experience, users can give My AI a custom name and add a personalized background.
How Does Snapchat ‘My AI’ Chatbot: Work
Snapchat My AI is a mobile-friendly chatbot that answers the user’s questions within the app. The feature acts as a companion while using the app. It provides suggestions or responds to your questions as ChatGPT does. My AI doesn’t support essays, so you may not get answers related to that using this feature.
Nevertheless, the app responds to your messages with artificial intelligence, and you can consider it as another hangout friend on Snapchat. It provides answers to various questions as you chat with your friends. However, since it’s a new feature, Snap suggests users not rely entirely on My AI.
Snap agrees that My AI is prone to errors, so the company has also requested that users provide feedback. Again, the best way to make this feature useful and relevant to users is by interacting with it consistently. The more you interact with My AI, the better responses you get!
How to Use Snapchat ‘My AI’ Chatbot
Snapchat My AI chatbot is exclusively available to Snapchat Plus members. So, you’ll see My AI on your device only if you are a Snapchat+ member. The feature will appear automatically in your chat feed. You can use My AI by swiping right from the Camera tab.
Alternatively, if you don’t have a Snapchat+ subscription, you can purchase it at $3.99 per month. The app allows users to access premium features via its one-week free trial.
Note that the company has released My AI for United States users. So, Snapchatters from other countries will have to wait until the feature is released in their countries.
