Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Facebook will have stickers made by artificial intelligence

This Wednesday (27) Meta held Meta Connect 2023, an annual event where new features for the company’s core services were announced. Focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and experiences that merge the real and the digital, some of the main new features include big tech’s social networks.

Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Facebook Stories will get new AI-enhanced stickers next month (for English users only). Stickers will be generated automatically by simply typing a specific command.

For example, people can type “a pizza playing basketball” and a sticker representing the text will be created. Check out some examples below:

In addition, Instagram, which works with artificial intelligence, will receive Restyle and Background features. The first one can edit the images you recorded with your mobile phone’s camera with just commands. The tool can place a watercolor filter by simply typing “watercolor” into the command.

Background can also remove backgrounds from images with a single command. All you have to do is type “put me in front of a gorgeous northern lights” or “surround me with dogs”; The platform will automatically perform the conversion.

Anyone with an account on WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram will also have access to Meta AI, an artificial intelligence that can simulate conversations with people. Meta AI will have more than 25 personalities based on text conversations and real artists like Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady. The innovation will reach the United States first.
