The inclusion of certain new features in WhatsApp such as the possibility of creating events in individual chats not only changes the concept of the app, but also avoids using third-party ones. And it is similar to what can happen with the next app that will use artificial intelligence through a chatbot such as ChatGPT: the creating a custom one for the user.
ChatGPT offers the possibility of creating custom ‘GPTs’ that are focused on a specific topic, whether teaching a language or what it would be like to program in certain language. It is as if the AI is ‘taught’ to take a special role according to the person’s need.
WhatsApp is working on a new dedicated tab for AI-powered chats and which focuses on being a space focused on exploration and interaction with AI tools directly from the app.
This tab would also be dedicated to showing all the AI functions among which you could find the tools developed by Meta and third-party creators to offer unique services and suggestions.
And not only would he stay here, but WhatsApp is focused on the development of chats powered by artificial intelligence; Frankly, it is an idea that fits into the very concept of being a chat app, and even more so when ChatGPT or Gemini are being used in a conversational way to make all kinds of queries.
The form to create an AI chatbot on WhatsApp
The Free Android
Similar to ChatGPT’s GPTs, WhatsApp’s proposal is to offer users a greater control and personalization of the experience with a chatbot. Since beta version 2.25.1.26 of WhatsApp for Android, the ability to create personalized AI chatbots has been discovered.
The new feature that allows the user to create AI chatbots can be seen in the screenshot contributed by WaBetaInfoand similar to another experience that Meta is integrating into Instagram. The idea of WhatsApp is that Any type of user can create a chatbot without needing advanced knowledge and you can even create it based on the chatbot’s goal, whether it’s productivity, entertainment, or simply offering personal assistance.

In the screenshot you can see how to fill out a form with three steps or questions and a response with a description that can reach 1,000 characters, so there is room to outline what you want with the chatbot.
You can also see the suggestions as you can be a chef specialized in some type of gastronomy or a personal trainer to practice a sport such as rugby or improve physical fitness to achieve new goals when practicing running.
A proposal that fits the same definition of the app being a chat one, although this new experience is in an experimentation phase, so it can be left halfway until it arrives.
In Spain, as in Europe, it would have another bump and it is none other than the Digital Services Law (DSA) that is currently preventing Meta from deploying multiple experiences related to artificial intelligence as happened last year in WhatsApp itself.
