WhatsApp might let you create personalized AI chatbots within the app
We recently heard that WhatsApp was testing a new interface for its Android app, where the Communities tab was replaced with the "AIs" tab, possibly to provide all AI-powered features in one place. Now, we have learned that WhatsApp is working on a feature that will let users create personalized AI chatbots.
This revelation comes from the folks at WABetaInfo, who spotted this feature in version 2.25.1.26 of WhatsApp beta for Android. They also shared a screenshot, included below, which suggests the AI chatbot would be called AI Character.
WhatsApp users will be able to create it within the app, and the source claims that WhatsApp also plans to include suggestions to make the chatbot-creating process easier.
While creating the chatbot, WhatsApp will ask users to describe what it will do and what its primary objective will be.
It's unclear when this feature will be publicly released for everyone worldwide. It's also unavailable for beta users since it's still under development.

unless you are trying to say that every phone is riddled with pegasus/hermit which is a ridiculous notion and it would render projects like grapheneos pointless.
