Snapchat became the latest platform to jump on the chatbot bandwagon when it launched My AI in February. My AI is'an experimental and friendly' chatbot designed to be a personal sidekick to each Snapchatter who chats with it, the social media app says. Powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, it can be used to come up with dinner suggestions, plan an itinerary, or send a loved one a personalised poem. Initially, My AI was only available to those sign up to Snapchat Plus, its £3.99-per-month subscription service, but now it is being released to all Snapchat users. My AI will appear pinned in the chat tab above conversations with friends for all users – but it can be removed if wanted.
