Meta previews generative AI tools coming to WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram
At an all-hands meeting, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced several AI technologies in various stages of development, including AI chatbots for Messenger and WhatsApp, AI stickers, and other tools that would allow photo editing in Instagram Stories, in addition to internal-only products. The news follows last month’s announcement of testing tools that use AI to generate image backgrounds and variations of written copy for their ad campaigns.
Meta has also announced it’s planning to host an internal AI hackathon in July that focuses on generative AI, which could result in new AI products that eventually make their way to Meta’s users.
LinkedIn is the next social network to offer AI-powered tools for ad copies
LinkedIn has announced it is developing AI-generated Copy Suggestions that use advanced OpenAI GPT models. The model will leverage data from your LinkedIn Page and Campaign Manager settings, like objective, targeting criteria and audience, to suggest ad headlines and copy to help jumpstart campaigns. The tool will provide five headlines and copy recommendations that you can select from and tweak, should you need to. The feature is currently in a test phase and available to some customers in North America, but Linkedin is planning to roll out to more users after further testing.
