What can my AI do?
My AI is your personal companion. Talking to the bot is no different than chatting with any other friend you have on Speechify. You can ask the bot for advice, get gift ideas, plan meals, suggest activity ideas, and more.
You can give the My AI bot a custom name or customize its chat wallpaper, just like you would with any other Snapchat user. My AI works better the more you use it. The way the app is built allows the bot to select more relevant responses based on your needs and preferences.
In a way, My AI can connect you with people you care about by answering questions and sharing ideas.
My AI is also pretty good with jokes and can offer game recommendations on the platform; however, you cannot participate in them yet. Some text-based games you can play with the bot within the chat include trivia, 21 questions, and truth and dare.
How is my AI data shared?
My AI uses your interactions with the bot as its main source of data. Also remember your location by city. This data is used to improve your experience with the app or other Snap products (in particular, ads) to create a more personalized experience.
Will my AI be free?
Non-subscribers frequently ask if the My AI tool will be available to all Snapchat users. The company’s goal is to make My AI available to all users, according to CEO Evan Spiegel.
Difference between ChatGPT and My AI
Open AI and its famous ChatGPT tool bring my AI to Snapchat. The ChatGPT integration into Snapchat allows you to explore one of the most popular AI tools on the market for the price of a Snapchat subscription.
You may have had a chance to try the ChatGPT tool. If so, please note that My AI does not have the same functionalities as ChatGPT. The Snapchat tool uses the same technology but is more limited in providing responses.
The My AI tool adheres to Snapchat’s safety and trust guidelines and cannot provide responses that involve profanity, sexually explicit content, or politics. My AI doesn’t write academic essays either.
Another important difference is that My AI treats the tool like a person. The tool has its own profile page like any other user of the application. The idea behind My AI is to be a new friend on your Snapchat list who you can have fun with. It is not intended to be your search engine.
Speed is a major benefit of My AI. While ChatGPT takes a few seconds to generate a response, My AI does it in the blink of an eye.
The company adjusts My AI daily based on user responses and feedback. The tool will be much more social media platform oriented than ChatGPT, which has wide use.
ChatGPT’s broader scope of use cases makes it a more advanced feature suitable for both personal and business use. My AI, on the other hand, is designed for personal use only.
