Meta has announced the availability of its Llama-3-powered AI chatbot to all users in India after successful testing during the general elections. The chatbot, which is currently only available in English, offers a wide range of functionalities across WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and Facebook. Users can ask for recipe suggestions, workout plans, writing assistance, and more. Meta AI can also suggest Reels on Instagram and provide information on Facebook posts, such as best places to see the aurora borealis. The chatbot can even generate images based on prompts, although reports have highlighted biases in its image generation capabilities. Despite ongoing updates and improvements, Meta continues to face challenges with biases in its AI models. The company is expanding the chatbot's availability to cater to India's massive user base and promote engagement within group chats on WhatsApp.
