WhatsApp is about to launch a new feature that will include voice chat capabilities for its AI chatbot.
According to a report by WABetainfo, the functionality will enable voice commands to improve user-Meta AI communication.
This new feature will allow users to have real-time chats with Meta AI via voice commands, enabling a hands-free and perhaps more efficient way to interact with the AI chatbot.
The upgrade will allow users to converse with the AI using several voice options. Previous rumours also suggested that customers would be able to choose from ten different AI voices.
This will also encourage the user to engage in more personal discussions with Meta AI. Users will be able to use the feature via a floating action button in their chat list.
WhatsApp users will be able to manually enable the voice chat mode, which will allow the chatbot to constantly listen to their chats until they leave the chat or switch to chat mode.
Users should be able to readily verify that Meta AI’s voice chat mode is turned off by observing that the visual indicator disappears from their screen when they exit the chat.
Newsng understands that the most recent advancement demonstrates Meta’s dedication to deploying AI chatbots on all of its platforms.
This is a component of a larger plan to improve the interactivity and engagement of their apps in order to attract and retain users.
While it’s still in the early stages of development, Meta AI’s voice chat mode is a significant advancement in the way artificial intelligence is being integrated into everyday communication platforms.
Although there are obvious potential advantages, it is unclear how extensively used and helpful this feature will be in actual use.
WhatsApp makes every effort to stay abreast of AI developments and comprehend user needs.
The program is now utilising AI, and it’s possible that in the future it will add other AI-based functionality.
We earlier reported that Whatsapp looks to be developing a new generative AI tool that would enable users to create customised avatars of themselves to utilise in any scenario they can envision.
The in-development function appears to generate photos using a combination of user-supplied photographs, text prompts, and Meta’s AI Llama model.
