Users can name My AI and customize the wallpaper for their chat with the feature. While chatting with My AI, expect it to work similarly to how you might chat with ChatGPT: Ask it to write a note for your crushor suggest a schedule for a night out. Unlike ChatGPT, though, My AI won't work like a search engine — instead, it's intended to work like messaging another person within Snapchat, like you would your friends.
Snapchat says all of your conversations with My AI will be saved in order to make the product better, so don't share too much. If you want to give feedback to My AI, you can do so by pressing and holding on any of its messages. Snapchat is one of the first social media platforms to take advantage of OpenAI's enterprise tier Foundry, a tool that lets companies run ChatGPT, according to The Verge.
