The reports arrive amid Meta’s struggle to improve user retention.
Meta is preparing a series of AI-powered chatbots capable of displaying various personas, according to a report in the Financial Times. The different personalities reportedly will include a chatbot that imitates Abraham Lincoln and one that impersonates a surfer.
Meta, the parent company behind Facebook, Instagram, and the recently launched Threads platform, reportedly is releasing these chatbots in an attempt to improve user retention. While Threads became the fastest-growing app ever, the social platform is now losing over half its users.
Meta’s chatbots would potentially compete with ChatGPT, Bing, and Bard and could be released as soon as September.
