IT was only a matter of time before Snapchat jumped aboard the AI wagon.
The social media platform has introduced its very own in-app chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI), which has met with mixed reviews.

Many have been impressed by the AI’s abilities, such as its ability to speak and understand a huge array of languages and dialects.
But the feature has also met with criticism and confusion online over how the app uses location data.
What is the My AI feature on Snapchat?
“My AI is an experimental, friendly, chatbot currently available to Snapchatters,” Snapchat explained in help forum on its website.
“In a chat conversation, My AI can answer a burning trivia question, offer advice on the perfect gift for your BFF’s birthday, help plan a hiking trip for a long weekend, or suggest what to make for dinner.”
It is powered by the same technology behind ChatGPT, the same tech that has been injected into Microsoft’s Bing search engine.
However, the tech company has warned that it’s possible My AI’s responses might include “biased, incorrect, harmful, or misleading content” due to the “evolving” nature of AI.
If you’re concerned about any responses you’ve received from My AI, you can send feedback to the Snapchat team by long pressing on any response and sharing what you’d like to see less of.
When was My AI introduced?
My AI was first introduced in February 2023 as a Snapchat+ exclusive feature.
But just weeks later, Snapchat made the chatbot available to its global user base, which includes hundreds of millions of people.
Who gets My AI?
All global users now have access to My AI, and are able to have ChatGPT-style conversations within the Snapchat app.
