Ever feel like you need a clone in order to keep up with your online presence? Metaβs new AI Studio might be the answer. It lets you create AI versions of yourself, designed to chat with your audience and handle interactions on Instagram or the web. Itβs like having a virtual assistant that speaks in your voice, ready to engage with your community when you can't.
With AI Studio, you can set up your AI to respond to comments, chat in threads, and even manage specific tasksβall while you focus on creating content or running your business. Simply head to the AI Studio website or start an "AI chat" on Instagram to begin. Metaβs blog post details how you can customize your AIβs personality, set boundaries on topics, and control which accounts it interacts with. You can also enable features like auto-replies, making the experience seamless and interactive.
Beyond personal avatars, AI Studio also allows for the creation of entirely new characters, offering a playful twist to your digital engagement. This feature echoes the growing trend of personalized chatbots, similar to those on Character.AI and Replika, and Meta plans to showcase these creations for wider interaction.
Previously, Meta experimented with AI versions of celebrities, giving them alternate names and personas to avoid potential pitfalls. While there are safeguards in place, the unpredictable nature of generative AI means surprises are part of the package. However, with AI Studio, Instagram creators and businesses have a new tool to creatively connect with their audience.
Meta AI Studio is currently available to US users, but it will likely expand to other countries soon.
