Instagram Experiments With AI Elements 💻

Threads recently became a key development focus for the Instagram team, but that doesn’t mean they forgot about AI.

The first step was AI elements for Facebook & Instagram ads, and now they’re focusing on the creator & consumer aspect of the app.

What’s new?

• Generative AI Stickers: A new tool to create custom graphics based on text prompts for your posts and stories.

• Visual Editing Tools: Use an ‘AI Brush"‘ to replace parts of your image or fill in the gaps, or ‘Restyle’ sections of your upload by using text prompts.

• AI Chatbot: I don’t think we really need another Snapchat bot, but it seems like Instagram’s bot will do a better job with answers & advice.

• Message Summary: Don’t want to read a wall of DMs? AI will read through the content to provide a fast summary.

Not only are they adding all these AI features & tools, they’re also adding greater transparency around AI content with new labels that would explain when an image was made by AI.

There’s no word from Meta on when these elements are coming, but you can expect to see more AI functions emerging in your feed sometime soon.

What Are ChatGPT Plugins 🌴

ChatGPT Plugins aren’t made by OpenAI at all - they’re third-party application that must connect to ChatGPT to function.

Think of Chrome extensions but without the Chrome.

How do you start using plugins?

Sadly, plugins are restricted to GPT-4.

If you don’t pay for ChatGPT Plus, you can skip to the next segment of the email [or keep reading to find out what you’re missing out on].

What plugin should you use first?

There are hundreds of plugins, so I’ve consolidated this list to the most generally useful options.

1. Prompt Perfect: When activated, you type “Perfect” before you enter in your request, and this system will optimize the prompt to [hopefully] create a better response.

2. Video Insights: If you want to learn from a YouTube video but don’t have the time to watch, you can drop the link into ChatGPT with this plugin enabled and it will lay out a brief description of what’s going on.

3. Link Reader: This works the same as Video Insights but for articles or PDFs. Copy & paste the URL and let the plugin go to work.

4. Wolfram: All math problems/questions will be directed to Wolfram to be solved and then explained step-by-step.

5. Instacart: Why use the app when you could ask ChatGPT to order all the relevant groceries for you? Ask it to make you a weekly meal plan, list all ingredients, and then buy them!

6. Kayak: Similar to Instacart, Kayak’s plugin adds a trip planning functionality to ChatGPT. You can ask it to book hotels to improve your vacation strategy.
