Meta May Soon Make it Easier to Customize Your Meta AI Chats

Meta could soon let you refine its AI chatbot responses based on your personal preferences, with a new AI “Memory” option discovered in the back-end code of the latest version of WhatsApp.

As you can see in this example, shared by WABetaInfo, Meta’s new AI Memory element could soon be available within the Meta AI chat info overview.

The first screen explains that this option relates to “What Meta AI remembers about you”, and tapping through on the option would then enable you to see how Meta AI has refined its responses, based on the chats that you’ve conducted with it.

As per the description:

“Meta AI automatically remembers certain parts of your chat to give you more relevant responses. You can also ask Meta AI to “remember this.”

So you could ask Meta AI to remember to refer to you by a different name, or to remember your dietary preferences when recommending food ideas, or to apply certain rules or restrictions to its responses. Which would effectively enable you to customize your AI chatbot experience, within certain parameters, ensuring personalized, tailored responses fit for your own purpose.

This element would then let you change those parameters, if required, so that you’re not forever beholden to the parameters get locked in. I mean, you could theoretically change this by asking Meta AI to forget past rules that you’ve implemented, or things that you’ve told it, but if you can’t remember what they might be, that’ll be difficult.

As such, having them listed before you could be an easier way to manage this element, and ensure that your Meta AI responses remain relevant.

So it’s not fully customizable AI bots as such, but it’s another element that could help to maximize generative AI utility, by aligning with your specific preferences.

It’s actually similar to the custom bot creation element that Meta’s also working on for Instagram, which would enable you to create a bot friend, with certain character traits and stylistic options.

Interestingly, Meta also recent hired Michael Sayman, the developer of Social.ai, an app that enables you to interact with millions of AI bots, each with their own personality and focus.

Evidently, custom AI bots are very much on Meta’s AI agenda, and again, being able to customize your chats around specific traits and parameters could be a good way to ensure that your chats remain relevant and valuable.

You could even ask your AI bot to never create a gen AI image, which is a functionality that, outside of certain niche applications, remains an odd use case.

Like, sure, you could generate a picture of yourself playing in the NBA. But why? Why would you want that, and even further, why would you post it on Facebook?

I don’t know, maybe there’s a whole new generation itching to make up fake images and upload them to their profile, but it seems strange, especially in an app built around sharing your experiences with others.

But that’s an aside, the point here is that Meta’s looking at new ways to make your chats with Meta AI more consistently personally relevant, and there’s a range of ways that could be of use.
