Meta has recently integrated its general-purpose chatbot, Meta AI, into Instagram Direct Messaging. This move follows the company's previous expansion of the chatbot to platforms like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. The chatbot can answer questions, generate images, and even write poetry with a simple text prompt. While the feature is still in testing and not available to everyone, users have reported being able to interact with Meta AI in their Instagram DMs. The chatbot can provide definitions of words, suggest headlines, and even recommend content like Reels with specific themes. However, it seems that the chatbot functionality is not unique to Instagram, as it behaves similarly across different Meta-owned apps. By tapping on a hamburger menu within the bot, users can access a variety of actions they can request from Meta AI.
