This follows Snapchat's recent release of a tool for paying users to create and send AI-generated images, and the launch of a feature called Dreams. Earlier in the month, Meta made 28 AI-powered characters available across all its apps, including WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram, for U.S.-based users. The company also launched a standalone AI-image generator called Imagine with Meta, powered by its model called Emu.
Key takeaways:
- Instagram has launched an AI-powered background editing tool for U.S.-based users, allowing them to change the background of their images through prompts for Stories.
- Users can choose from ready prompts like “On a red carpet,” “Being chased by dinosaurs,” and “Surrounded by puppies,” or create their own prompts.
- Once a Story with the new background is posted, others will see a “Try it” sticker with the prompt, enabling them to also use the image generation tool.
