From there, you will see many options for AI bots to start a conversation with. If you are simply needing a question to be answered, you may try using Meta AI which works as an AI assistant.
However, if you are looking to have some fun with the feature, you can use Dungeon Master to create an adventurous story or Carter who gives dating advice. There is an AI Chat experience for everyone.

If you click on the profile, you can follow the AI like you would any other user.
If you find that you have a good or bad interaction with the AI bot, you can give feedback. Next to the responses from the AI, you’ll see thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons—click the one you want to use for feedback.
It’s important to note that AI Chat is only available on the mobile app for both iOS and Android. The browser website does not support the feature as of November 2023.

When using AI Chats, there are a few important details to bear in mind.
Keep an eye on the information that the AI bot is giving you. Sometimes, it may not always be accurate or complete. For example, you can use the “Creative Writing Partner” asan AI writing assistantto proofread your work, there’s a chance that the feedback may be incorrect, or it won’t catch all the mistakes.
You should also be aware that Meta may use your messages to help train its AI. Because of this, it is best not to give the AI any personal information.
Additionally, know that if you delete the chat, everything will be permanently lost to you. If you restart the chat, the AI won’t remember your previous conversation. With that being said, this doesn’t mean that Meta won’t still have access to the information.
