Instagram was one of the first social media platforms to jump on the AI bandwagon. Users can draft replies, create images, and send AI stickers using the chatbot. But that’s not all of it. The ‘AI Studio’ on Instagram lets users create an AI character that they can have a conversation with. The character and responses of the AI character can be moulded by its creator. Users can also chat with AI characters created by other users on the platform. Here’s how you can create an AI chatbot on Instagram.

How to get the best out of your AI chatbot
When you enter the AI Studio on Instagram, you will be presented with dozens of AI chatbots created by other users on the platform. While some chatbots may appear interesting on the surface, they don’t take long to get redundant and boring. The key to creating an engaging chatbot is loading it up with details and tweaking some of its interactive aspects before publishing it.
Meta’s AI Studio offers a bunch of programmable attributes to accomplish this. To begin with, you need to add a bunch of instructions that tell your AI chatbot how to behave in certain situations. You can use this tool to add more personality quirks to its character as well. For further training, you can enter a few ‘Example dialogues’ to give the AI chatbot an idea of the tonality you’re looking for.
Lastly, you can set up ‘Icebreakers’ for users to interact with. An icebreaker is a preset prompt that appears on the screen when someone selects your AI chatbot. If the user cannot think of something to say to the chatbot, they can simply select one of the icebreakers.
