Meta AI can now remember details from your chats
Meta has introduced updates to Meta AI, allowing the chatbot to remember details from a user’s chats with the bot, helping to personalise future responses.
Users in the US and Canada can tell Meta AI details to remember about a chat, allowing it to tailor future responses based on its ‘memory’, while the chatbot can now also “pick up important details based on context”, the company said in a blog post. This update brings a new level of personalisation to the user experience.
Similarities to Google and OpenAI
The update is similar to Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which previously rolled out ‘memory’ features. For example, a user can allow Meta AI to remember details about their dietary restrictions, which the chatbot will use to inform its future responses and recommendations.
However, the update will only allow Meta AI to remember details from one-on-one conversations and not group chats, the company clarified, adding that users will have the option to delete its memories.
Greater Personalisation for Meta AI
In another update, Meta said it is offering a “greater level of personalisation for Meta AI”, by allowing its chatbot Meta AI to aggregate a user’s personal data from across its Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger apps. This includes home locations listed as part of a user’s Facebook profile and recently viewed content, alongside its memory of details a user has provided, to personalise content recommendations.
Meta’s latest quarterly revenue reached $40.59bn, the highest in recent years, showcasing the positive impact of these AI advancements on the company's overall success. CEO Mark Zuckerberg attributed this achievement to the company’s AI progress across its apps and business, particularly highlighting the enhancements made to Meta’s AI-driven feed and video recommendations leading to increased user engagement on Facebook and Instagram.
Last year, the company also unveiled new AI models, such as the self-taught evaluator, demonstrating Meta’s ongoing commitment to advancing AI technology.
