Following Meta’s introduction of Meta AI to WhatsApp earlier this year, the popular messaging service continues to improve its usability. All of the features have made using WhatsApp easier for consumers, starting with MetaAI’s ability to be used as a personal assistant director from the application to its availability in Hindi. Additionally, WABeta claims that it is currently developing a new feature known as chat memory.
In order to improve the personal assistant’s personalization, the function attempts to capture all relevant data that is sent to MetaAI. For example, the chat assistant will share recipes based on your vegan status. But this might also be the characteristic that needs limits. As of right now, the functionality is still in development, and our knowledge is quite restricted. Let’s examine the capabilities of this feature.
The chat memory feature of WhatsApp
In a planned upgrade, WhatsApp is investigating a new feature that will enable Meta AI to automatically recall specific information that has been shared with the chatbot in the past. Based on the data Meta AI has about users’ interests, this feature seeks to give them more pertinent and customized responses. The AI will be able to recall a variety of personal information, such as birthdays, food preferences (such as veganism), and personal preferences (such as a formal conversational tone). It can also record interests and allergies, such as a preference for documentaries and podcasts or a list of favorite novels.
The purpose of this memory function is to significantly increase the level of personalization in Meta AI interactions. Meta AI can provide suggestions, counsel, and responses that are more in line with the user’s tastes and way of life by keeping this kind of data. For instance, if a user seeks food recommendations, Meta AI will avoid offering dishes that the user has already specified they dislike or are allergic to. Meta AI can act more like a personal assistant thanks to this level of customization, which promotes a more engaging and natural relationship.
The study claims that consumers would have total control over what Meta AI remembers, allowing them to change or remove particular data at any time.
Issues with memory aids
Similar to this, a number of businesses have already withdrawn the “memory” component. Microsoft developed a tool called Recall, which was frequently criticized for invading a user’s personal space. In a similar vein, Google published screenshots of Pixel, a kinder and more reasonable version of Recall. The company only permitted the recording of Pixel screenshots. In this manner, the user controls which information is recorded. It’s important to note that the WABeta report currently claims that users will have the ability to save anything they desire. But it won’t be apparent until the feature is made available.
