Meta has announced a slew of innovative AI experiences and features designed to revolutionise the way people interact and communicate its Meta Connect 2023 event. The company aims to bring more connectivity, creativity and expression at the same time on all its platforms including Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook.
AI Stickers
Meta introduced AI Stickers, a technology that is poised to change communication and self-expression. These AI stickers make use of Llama 2 and Meta's image generating model, Emu (continuing animal theme). They can instantly convert text instructions into a plethora of distinctive, high-quality stickers. This tool, which will be available to select English-language users in WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and Facebook Stories over the next month, offers a wide range of possibilities for expressing feelings.
Image Editing With AI
Meta also announced two new features, Restyle and Backdrop, which will be available on Instagram. These tools, powered by Emu and Meta's Segment Anything Model, enable users to rethink and co-create AI-generated visuals. Backdrop modifies the environment or background in photographs based on descriptive prompts, whereas Restyle allows users to describe the visual style they want. To maintain transparency and authenticity, these AI-generated photographs will be prominently labelled.
Meta AI
Meta AI, a new assistant that interacts like a human, will be available on WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and soon on Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and Quest 3. This assistant improves text-based discussions by offering real-time information and image production, thanks to a custom model built with Llama 2 technology and Meta's most recent large language model (LLM) research. It aids in group decision-making and even artistic pursuits such as digital badge design.
AI Characters
Meta has created 28 distinct AIs with whom users may interact on WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. These AIs are programmed with personalities, views, and hobbies in order to make interactions more interesting. Meta has collaborated with cultural celebrities and influencers including Kendel Jenner, Mr Beast to embody some of these personas in order to make these AIs feel like familiar companions.
AI Studio And Business Integration
Meta is extending its AI offerings with AI Studio, a platform for building AIs. In the upcoming weeks, developers—both programmers and non-programmers—will be able to create third-party AIs for Meta's messaging services. AIs will also be able to assist organisations in improving consumer engagement and service. Soon, creators will be able to build AIs that extend their virtual presence throughout all of Meta's apps, providing them more flexibility and control.
