The “chat” component of Snapchat’s name is set to take on new significance. The Snapchat creator Snap announced on Wednesday that Snapchat launches its new Chatbot powered by ChatGPT all users of the app may now access its customizable My AI chatbot. Until recently, only paid customers to Snapchat+ could access the function, which is powered by the popular AI chatbot ChatGPT.
According to the company, the program can produce a haiku in a few seconds and provides recommendations, answers users’ inquiries, aids in planning, and other functions. It can be discussed with friends when it is accompanied by “@MyAI.” To further personalize it, users can also give it a name and create a unique Bitmoji avatar.

Integrating ChatGPT
The action was taken more than a month after ChatGPT’s inventor OpenAI allowed outside companies to use their chatbot. Among the first partners to test integrating ChatGPT were Snap, Instacart, and the tutoring software Quizlet.
Since it was made available to the general public in November 2022, ChatGPT has astounded a lot of users with its amazing capacity to produce original essays, stories, and song lyrics in response to user questions. The initial wave of interest in the tool rekindled a competition among IT companies to create and integrate comparable AI technologies into their offerings.
Far from Perfect!
The initial group of businesses utilizing ChatGPT’s features all have slightly different ideas for how to use it. However, when combined, these services may serve as a means of gauging how practical AI chatbots can be in daily life and how eagerly users are willing to engage with them in their favorite apps for customer service and other purposes.
The risk of adding ChatGPT functionalities is also possible. The technology, which was developed using reams of web data, has the capacity to reply to people in ways that they may not find appropriate and even disseminate false information.
On Wednesday, Snap wrote in a blog post that “My AI is far from perfect but we’ve made a lot of progress.” For instance, it claimed that 99.5% of My AI’s responses adhere to its community standards. According to Snap, the modifications were made to “help protect against responses that could be inappropriate or harmful.” The business incorporated moderation technology and the new feature to its in-app parental controls, according to the company.
