Meta Platforms has released the AI Studio, a tool that enables users to create chatbots and AI versions of themselves to respond to messages. With this tool, users have control over the AI designs for the chatbots, enhancing interactions on platforms like Instagram.
“Instagram creators can set up an AI as an extension of themselves that can quickly answer common DM [direct message] questions and story replies,” Meta stated in a blog post. “Whether it’s sharing facts about themselves or linking to their favorite brands and past videos, creator AIs can help creators reach more people and fans get responses faster.”
With AI Studio, users can create AI chatbots customized to their needs, such as their “Instagram content, topics to avoid, and links they want to share.” Meta said the chatbot can be made for only the creator to access or made available to friends and family.
Meta shared examples of AI chatbots, including one specifically designed to provide food tips when traveling, a “stress ball” chatbot to support users at work, and another tailored to assist users with their photography skills.
Just announced at @siggraph, today we’re beginning to roll out AI Studio, a new place for people to create, share and discover AIs — no technical skills required!

Meta added that the company is making efforts to enable users to unleash their creativity by leveraging AI capabilities. Mark Zuckerberg emphasized that while creators and their fans may face time constraints, the AI chatbots address that challenge as they are trained on a creator’s persona.
“It’s a very creative endeavor almost like a piece of art or content that you’re putting out there.”
