5 things WhatsApp's AI could do, but doesn't

All about WhatsApp

Meta recently launched its WhatsApp generative artificial intelligence (GAI), which can generate images and answer user questions.

The AI, designed to compete with ChatGPT, from OpenAI, does not have some important functions present in other chatbots, such as receiving audio commands. Like other generative AIs, Meta AI is not reliable; She has trouble answering basic math questions and confuses commands.

5 missing AI features in WhatsApp

Automatic summaries of long conversations

Have you ever faced problems with long conversations in WhatsApp groups that soon become difficult to follow, resulting in missing an important point?

WhatsApp's AI could automatically summarize long conversations in the messaging app. The tool would highlight the main points, as AIs usually do to summarize any text, and make it easier for users to follow the discussions.

Despite not having this feature, the tool can summarize the messages received as long as the user sends them to the chatbot, informs the context and gives the command.

Receive and respond to voice commands

It is not possible to send audio to the tool with commands. Meta AI was trained only to process written text. Likewise, the AI ​​cannot send audio responses.

WhatsApp Audio Transcription

As it does not receive audio, WhatsApp's AI is also unable to transcribe it. This feature would be very useful for users who do not like or cannot listen to long audios sent through the application.

Read documents and images

In the same way that audios are not part of the understanding of WhatsApp's AI, documents and images were left out. This prevents the chatbot from performing very useful functions such as interpreting graphs and tables. It is also not possible to ask questions based on an image sent to Meta AI.

On the other hand, AI can generate images based on a command.

Help automatically detect privacy risks and fraud

If the user sends a suspicious text or link and asks about its security, WhatsApp's AI makes an assessment. However, this does not happen automatically. Therefore, the tool is unable, for example, to warn about possible privacy risks, fraud and scams that the user is not aware of.

It is worth noting that, even in cases where the user asks the chatbot a direct question about security, the tool is not an expert. For personalized and reliable guidance, you need to consult a professional.
