What Can Snapchat’s ‘My AI’ Assistant Do?
Users can use the new Snapchat My AI bot as a conversation companion to pass their time. However, the new AI chatbot can do a variety of other things.
My AI can plan trips, recommend birthday gift ideas, suggest recipes, write poems and haikus, etc. However, note that this is not a fully portable version of ChatGPT.
Snapchat’s My AI chatbot cannot write essays, blog posts, or do your homework for you. Since Snapchat AI is a like a companion, you can give it a custom name and even customize its chat wallpaper.
Moreover, it’s also worth noting that Snapchat has made it clear that My AI is not perfect and very prone to errors. As the company puts it, the Snapchat My AI chatbot is “prone to hallucination and can be tricked into saying just about anything.”
This means you cannot rely on this bot as a primary means for information and should take its answers with a grain of salt.
How to Use Snapchat ‘My AI’ Chatbot on iOS & Android
The new Snapchat AI chatbot was initially available as anexperimental feature to Snapchat Plus subscribers in the U.S. Users could sign up for Snapchat+ for as low as $3.99/ month. Snapchatters in other countries had to wait, but the company has now rolled out My AI bot access to everyone for free. You don’t even need a Snapchat+ subscription to talk to the AI bot, which has already been deemed really annoying and creepy.
You will see “My AI” pinned under the app’s “Chat” tab by default, right above your conversations with friends. To access My AI, simply swipe right from the “Camera” tab to access the “Chat” tab and try it out. The bot is currently in the experimental stages, and some of the features are only limited to Snapchat Plus subscribers.
