WhatsApp’s new feature will allow users to design AI chatbots with customizable personalities and purposes.
The AI creation process includes preconfigured templates and suggestions for easy customization.
Although no official release date has been confirmed, this feature is expected to be available in the coming months.
WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to create their own AI chatbots. According to reports, the Meta-owned instant messaging platform has added new features in a new beta version for Android. This feature allows users to design and personalize their own AI-powered chatbots within the application.
WhatsApp appears to be integrating features from Instagram’s personal area within the app to provide a better user experience to its users. This new feature allows users to quickly and easily create their own AI companions.
Users only need to provide a detailed description of the AI’s personality, its aims, objectives, and distinguishing features. For example, users will be able to choose whether their AI companion will focus on productivity, entertainment, or personal assistance. Users can also provide helpful suggestions, such as preconfigured templates and examples of popular AI profiles, to help others get started.

However, this description plays an important role in shaping the AI interaction. The tech giant adjusts the AI’s behavior based on user input, allowing it to perform specific tasks, such as motivating users during a workout session or managing tight deadlines.
It is worth noting that the tech giant has not made any official announcement about this feature or its release date. But it looks like WhatsApp is also now joining the AI race. This update comes after a dedicated tab for AI tools was discovered in the previous WhatsApp beta version of Android 2.25.1.24 release. This tab allows users to easily explore and interact with new AI bots.
There is no clear timeline for when this feature will be generally available, but it is expected to be available to users within the next few months.
