Snapchat Launches Its Own ChatGPT Powered AI Chatbot

Snapchat Plus subscribers can access the feature starting this week.

Snapchat on Monday said it is launching its own generative artificial intelligence chatbot powered by the latest version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, called My AI. Snapchat calls My AI an experimental feature, and it’ll start rolling out to Snapchat Plus subscribers this week.

Snapchat wrote in a blog post that My AI can help plan a hiking trip over the weekend, it can suggest a recipe to try for dinner and more. It can also write a short haiku if you’re feeling poetic.

«My AI was trained to have a unique tone and personality that plays into Snapchat’s core values around friendship, learning, and fun,» a Snapchat spokesperson said in an email to CNET. «It has been trained to adhere to our trust and safety guidelines.»

While Snapchat wrote that My AI was designed to avoid biased, incorrect or harmful information, the company also noted My AI «can be tricked into saying just about anything.» When an AI creates incorrect information that sounds plausible, that information is called a hallucination.

Snapchat will store and potentially review conversations users have with My AI to help improve the feature. Users can also send feedback directly to Snapchat by long pressing on a My AI response and sharing it with Snapchat.

It’s unclear if or when My AI will be available to Snapcaht users who don’t subscribe to Snapchat Plus.

Snapchat is the latest tech company to integrate AI into its platform. On Feb. 6, Google unveiled its own ChatGPT rival, called Bard. «Bard seeks to combine the breadth of the world’s knowledge with the power, intelligence, and creativity of our large language models,» Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai tweeted at the time.

Then on Feb. 7, Microsoft unveiled a new version of its Bing search that incorporates ChatGPT. Microsoft then said longer chats can cause bizarre responses, and the company would try to fix some errors in the tool. Not long after this announcement, Microsoft limited its Bing AI chat to a handful of responses so the conversations wouldn’t get too strange.

Verum Messenger Celebrates Its 4th Anniversary: A Journey Towards Security, Innovation, and User Trust

Today, Verum Messenger, one of the leading messengers on the market, celebrates its 4th anniversary. Over the years, the app has become a symbol of security, privacy, and innovation in the world of digital communication, and continues to evolve confidently, introducing new features and improving the quality of service.

When Verum Messenger was launched in 2021, its goal was clear — to create a communication platform that puts data security first. Four years later, this messenger has proven that its approach works. The app has not only successfully implemented end-to-end encryption to protect messages but has also offered unique features such as the ability to block screenshots and screen recordings, the built-in Verum VPN service that ensures online anonymity and security, and one-click information clearing within the messenger.

Achievements and Innovations

Over the past four years, Verum Messenger has significantly expanded its capabilities and established itself as one of the most secure messengers. One of the key milestones was the integration of Verum E-SIM, a feature that allows users to connect to mobile internet without the need for a physical SIM card. This was a breakthrough for travelers who value flexibility and anonymity without being dependent on mobile carriers and roaming.

But the most important achievement was the introduction of Verum AI — a generative artificial intelligence developed in-house. This chatbot, integrated into the messenger, provides users with a unique opportunity to interact with an intelligent assistant capable of not only answering questions but also giving recommendations and solving everyday tasks. This feature is one of the first among messengers to offer its own neural network that continually adapts to users’ needs and improves its functionality.

Commitment to Data Security

It is important to note that data security remains the top priority for Verum Messenger. The company has always been dedicated to protecting privacy. In recent years, the app has introduced several improvements aimed at safeguarding users from data breaches and unauthorized access.

Moreover, Verum Messenger continues to develop and enhance its privacy settings, giving users control over who can view their information and who can contact them.

The Future of Verum Messenger

Now, four years after its launch, Verum Messenger is not stopping at its achievements. The company is actively working on new innovations and improvements that will help the messenger remain at the forefront of technology.

“Our users and their right to privacy and security have always been and will remain our top priority. We will continue to work to ensure that Verum Messenger remains the safest and most convenient tool for communication, considering new challenges and technologies,” the development team shares its plans.
