Snapchat is still a hugely popular social media platform around the world, which millions of people use to talk to their friends everyday.
The app has a variety of features, but paying Snapchat Plus subscribers have access to even more exclusive features.
In March, the platform introduced a new exclusive feature for Snapchat+ members called My AI, which is now accessible to all users within the app. But what is it exactly? Here’s everything you need to know.
What is My AI on Snapchat?
Snapchat describes My AI as an “experimental, friendly, chatbot” that’s “designed to be a personal sidekick to each Snapchatter who chats with it.”
Snapchat says that the feature, powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, “can answer a burning trivial question, offer advice on the perfect gift for your BFF’s birthday, help plan a hiking trip for a long weekend, suggest what to make for dinner. My AI is there to help and to connect you more deeply to the people and things you care about most.”
You are able to give your AI a name and tell it about your likes and dislikes.
Snapchat does however warn users not to rely on My AI’s advice, as in these early stages, it may give incorrect or biased answers.

- Open Snapchat.
