Mark Zuckerberg’s chain game strong, AI game stronger
Instagram is pulling out all the stops to promote its new AI tools. From Mark Zuckerberg’s podcast appearance (sporting his new chain, no less) to an interactive booth at VidCon 2024, Meta’s push for AI adoption is in full swing.
The company’s vision? Enabling every creator and small business to craft their own AI for community engagement.
Slide into those DMs… AI-style!
Instagram’s AI Studio, still in testing, aims to let creators develop AI-powered characters within the app. This builds on Meta’s chatbot characters introduced last year.
At VidCon, attendees can experience AI-generated stickers and backgrounds, showcasing Instagram’s commitment to integrating AI into its core features, especially within DMs.
Your very own AI mini-me
Zuckerberg emphasized the growing importance of DMs on Instagram, particularly among younger users.
The AI Studio’s goal is to help creators manage their increasing DM load by crafting an AI version of themselves.
This “AI persona” could potentially revolutionize how creators interact with their communities, handling incoming messages more efficiently.
