Meta Platforms plans to launch a range of AI-powered chatbots that exhibit different personalities as soon as September.
According to a report, citing people with knowledge of the plans, the company, which attempts to boost its engagement with its social media platforms, has been designing prototypes for AI-powered chatbots that can have human-like discussions with its users.
The report added that the Menlo Park, California-based social media giant is even exploring an AI-powered chatbot that speaks like Abraham Lincoln and another that advises on travel options in the style of a surfer.
These AI-powered chatbots will provide a new search function as well as offer recommendations.
