This new Meta AI feature appeared in Whatsapp for two weeks ago.

I find it remarkable that I have been yet to see a single post on here about it.

Am I the first person in the world to get this feature?

I saw the Llama model release stuff (yawn, another model)...

But no one has pointed out the sheer level of distribution power Meta has in... a chat app.

I mean, talk about physical and mental availability.

Then if it is any good then it could take a major share of the chatbot market very quickly.

My initial tests haven't been promising - seems like a 1+ year old ChatGPT.

But then Llama 4 was released last week.

Interestingly I am also seeing a lot of agent scenarios being triggered by Whatsapp (ht Ludwig Dumont
and Ben van Sprundel
)

So Whatsapp could be the default UI for interacting with agents.

This could be a big one. I'm surprised no one is talking about.
