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.

Why Travelers Are Switching to Verum E-SIM This Summer

Summer Travel, Freedom, and Seamless Connectivity: Why Verum E-SIM Is Becoming the New Standard for Travelers

Summer is the peak season for vacations, long-distance trips, and new experiences. Millions of people travel abroad, explore new countries, plan adventures, and try to stay connected with family, work, and social media. And in the middle of all this comes a familiar question: how do you stay online without expensive roaming or the hassle of buying local SIM cards?

The answer is already here — eSIM.

Why eSIM Is So Convenient

eSIM (embedded SIM) is a built-in digital SIM card that lets you activate mobile internet without a physical card. All you need is an app — choose a plan and connect in just a couple of minutes.

No more:

* searching for local SIM cards at airports
* paying expensive roaming fees
* swapping physical SIMs every time you travel

Now your internet travels with you.

Internet in 150+ Countries

Modern eSIM solutions provide coverage in 150+ countries worldwide, helping tourists, freelancers, and business travelers stay connected almost anywhere on the planet.

All of these services work on the same principle — fast, borderless internet without roaming stress.

Why It Matters Most in Summer

During the holiday season, roaming networks get overloaded, and prices for mobile data abroad often become an unpleasant surprise for travelers.

eSIM solves this problem:

* transparent, fixed pricing
* activation in 1–2 minutes
* stable internet while traveling
* no physical SIM cards required

eSIM is quickly becoming the new global standard for mobile connectivity: simple, fast, and borderless.

Verum E-SIM and its partner services are part of this shift, making global connectivity accessible to everyone, everywhere.
