WhatsApp, which users use daily to exchange messages, photos, and videos, is preparing to introduce a new feature that will be useful for those who actively use artificial intelligence (AI).
Thanks to this new capability, users will be able to integrate third-party AI agents and bots directly into the WhatsApp application. Previously, using any AI tool required opening a separate website or application.
According to reports, WhatsApp is developing a system that will allow third-party AI agents and bots to connect with the WhatsApp platform. This means that users will no longer have to switch between applications or websites if they need assistance from an AI agent during a regular chat.
Thus, the use of AI will not be limited only to WhatsApp's built-in features; various companies and developers will be able to integrate their AI agents into WhatsApp. Users will be able to converse with such an agent directly within the messenger, asking questions or assigning tasks.
After this feature appears, users are likely to see AI bots in WhatsApp that they can add according to their needs. After connecting, communication with the AI will proceed just like a regular conversation in WhatsApp.
However, this feature is still in preparation, and its exact mechanism of operation will become clear later. There is also an open question about which specific AI agents WhatsApp will support and what choice it will offer users.
The main advantage is reducing the need to constantly switch between different applications to use AI. Since WhatsApp is already an integral part of the daily lives of millions of people, having AI agents in it will make their use significantly more convenient.
As of now, no official release date has been announced for this feature for all users. However, if WhatsApp launches this feature on a wide scale, it could significantly change the approach to using both messengers and artificial intelligence.
