"Hope you're having a great day! Just checking in to see if you’ve discovered any new soundtracks or composers lately—or maybe you're in the mood for a movie recommendation. I’m here to help!"
This isn’t science fiction—it’s exactly the kind of interaction envisioned by a new AI chatbot called “The Maestro of Movie Magic”, developed by Meta, according to leaked reports obtained by Business Insider. These reports suggest that Meta is working with Alignerr to train customizable chatbots that can automatically interact with users, follow up on previous chats, and build ongoing relationships.
🤖 AI Chatbots That Keep the Conversation Going
According to TechCrunch, Meta is currently testing a new feature in Messenger and WhatsApp that will allow users to create personalized AI personas using the Meta AI Studio platform. These AI bots are designed to retain memory, recall past interactions, and automatically follow up with users on relevant topics.
Meta clarified that these bots will only initiate follow-up messages within 14 days of a user's last interaction and only after the user has sent at least five messages to the AI. If the user doesn't respond to the follow-up, the bot will stop messaging.
Interestingly, users will have the option to keep their AI bots private or share them via stories, direct links, or even feature them on their Facebook or Instagram profiles.
A Meta spokesperson stated:
⚠️ Potential Risks and Concerns
While the feature may sound exciting, TechCrunch highlighted potential risks. When asked about safety concerns, Meta acknowledged that AI responses may sometimes be inaccurate, and should not be relied on for making important decisions.
Meta issued a series of disclaimers warning users not to depend on these bots for serious matters. However, the company has not yet clarified whether the feature will be available to users of all age groups, raising further concerns about user privacy and safety.
This new functionality is aligned with Mark Zuckerberg’s vision to combat what he has described as the "epidemic of loneliness", using conversational AI to help users feel more connected—even if it’s with a machine.
