You might soon get a personal assistant on WhatsApp, and that is …

The new update will reportedly be made through a Chat Memory feature.

New Delhi: Tech space is abuzz with a news about social media messaging platform WhatsApp. It is reported that Meta AI on WhatsApp will soon undergo a major upgrade. It will modify the AI chatbot according to user preferences, helping it function as a personal assistant.

The new update will reportedly be made possible through a Chat Memory feature, which is currently under development and aims to provide more relevant and customized responses to Meta AI users.

A report by WABetainfo indicates that the upcoming Chat Memory feature will enable Meta AI to recall specific personal details from conversations, including dietary preferences, birthdays, conversational styles, allergies, and personal interests. This capability is anticipated to allow Meta AI to deliver responses that are customized to the user's lifestyle and preferences. For example, when seeking food recommendations, an AI like Meta could utilize previously saved data to automatically exclude options that the user dislikes or has allergies to, reports Mint.

The screenshot revealed by WABetainfo indicates that Meta AI will include a disclaimer stating the chatbot "automatically retains certain parts of your conversation to provide more pertinent responses." Additionally, users will have the option to instruct Meta AI to remember specific details they wish the AI chatbot to preserve by utilizing the "remember this" command, reports Mint.

The report highlights that privacy-focused individuals will have full authority over the data Meta AI stores for WhatsApp users, with the option to modify or remove specific information whenever they choose.

The Chat Memory feature has been observed in the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.24.22.9, indicating that WhatsApp may soon introduce this update to a broader user base. Yet, there has been no official statement from Meta regarding this development.
