The inclusion of some new features in WhatsApp like the ability to create events in individual chats not only changes the concept of the app but also avoids using third-party apps. And this is similar to what can happen with the next application that will use artificial intelligence via a chatbot such as ChatGPT: the create a custom one for the user.
ChatGPT offers the ability to create custom “GPTs” focused on a specific topic, whether teach a language or what it would be like to program in certain language. It’s as if the AI is “taught” to play a particular role based on the person’s needs.
WhatsApp is working on a new tab dedicated to AI-based discussions and which focuses on being a space focused on exploration and interaction with AI tools directly from the application.
This tab would also be dedicated to displaying all the AI functions among which you could find the tools developed by Meta and third-party creators to offer unique services and suggestions.
And not only would he stay here, but WhatsApp focuses on developing AI-powered chats; Frankly, it's an idea that fits into the whole concept of being a chat app, and even more so when ChatGPT or Gemini are used conversationally to perform all sorts of queries.
The form to create an AI chatbot on WhatsApp

Similar to ChatGPT's GPTs, WhatsApp's proposition is to offer users a greater control and personalization of the experience with a chatbot. Since beta version 2.25.1.26 of WhatsApp for Android, the possibility of creating personalized AI chatbots has been discovered.
The new feature that allows the user to create AI chatbots is visible in the screenshot provided by WaBetaInfo, and similar to another experience that Meta is integrating into Instagram. The idea of WhatsApp is that Any type of user can create a chatbot without the need for advanced knowledge and you can even create it based on the chatbot's purpose, whether it's productivity, entertainment, or simply offering personal assistance.

In the screenshot you can see how fill out a form in three steps or questions and a response with a description of up to 1,000 characters, so there's room to define what you want with the chatbot.
You can also see the suggestions as you can be a chef specialized in a certain type of gastronomy or a personal trainer practice a sport like rugby or improve your physical fitness to achieve new goals during practice running.
A proposition which corresponds to the same definition of the application being a chat experience, although this new experience is in the testing phase, so it can be left halfway until it arrives.
In Europe, as in Europe, there would be another obstacle and it is none other than the Digital Services Act (DSA) which currently prevents Meta from deploying multiple experiences linked to artificial intelligence, as has happened produced last year in WhatsApp itself.
