ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) is everywhere these days, ever since ChatGPT rose to internet fame late last year.

And it certainly wasn’t long before Snapchat joined in on the hype by rolling out its very own chatbot at the end of February.

What is My AI on Snapchat?

My AI is a Snapchat-exclusive chatbot that is powered by OpenAI’s famous ChatGPT technology.

It is essentially a computer program designed to have human-like conversations with Snapchat users.

Snapchatters can talk to it by typing or speaking, as they would any other human user of the social media platform.

If you ask it a question, it searches available databases, gathers information, and formulates a response.
