Snap, the social media company behind Snapchat, has released its My AI chatbot to all of its users for free. The chatbot is powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT and was initially only available to Snapchat’s paid subscribers. It can be accessed in group chats by mentioning it with an ‘@’ symbol and users can ask questions, request creative content and receive augmented reality filter recommendations. Snap plans to further develop the chatbot to accept visuals as input.
