If you’ve interacted with Meta AI in the past, you must be aware that the chatbot couldn’t remember details from conversations. Starting today, that won’t be a worry anymore. Meta is rolling out improvements to Meta AI, including the added memory feature that enables the chatbot to remember details from conversations.
Meta AI’s new memory feature lets it remember details from conversations
In an official blog from earlier today, Meta mentioned that users can now ask Meta AI to remember a few things about them while interacting with it. The added ability is rolling out first in the US and Canada for Meta AI users on the Android and iOS apps of Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp.
Meta says that the memory feature allows Meta AI to remember important details based on context. Let’s say you told Meta AI that you’re a vegan in previous conversations and asked for breakfast ideas. The next time you ask for diet ideas, it will remember you being a vegan and suggest accordingly.
It’s worth noting that Meta AI will only memorize details from one-to-one conversations and not from group chats. Additionally, a user can always delete the chatbot’s memory at any time. To remind you, the memory feature is similar to that of ChatGPT and Gemini.
The chatbot will use Facebook and Instagram data to offer personalized recommendations
Meta also announced that the AI chatbot will offer personalized recommendations. To do so, Meta AI will now use your account information from across Meta’s apps. This information could include your home location from your Facebook profile or recently viewed Instagram videos.
Meta says that personalized recommendations will be available across Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp, first in the US and Canada. According to TechCrunch, this isn’t an opt-out feature. Well, it’s true that Meta is doing everything it can to stay in the ongoing AI race. On the other hand, it is also dealing with a fresh lawsuit that accuses it of training its AI model using pirated books.
