https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/27/meta-parties-like-its-2015-brings-new-chatbots-to-its-messaging-apps/ > Meta, angling for a seat at the AI chatbot table, is launching a host of new AI-powered bots across its messaging apps, including WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram. They’re available for select users in beta in the U.S. as of today. > One is an AI assistant called Meta AI, which, judging by The Verge’s hands-on piece, is exceptionally similar to chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude 2. Meta AI — which will soon come to Meta’s newly announced Quest 3 VR headset, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said onstage at Meta’s Connect conference today — can help plan a trip with friends in a group chat, answer general-knowledge questions and search the internet across Microsoft’s Bing to provide real-time web results.
