WhatsApp's new AI feature, currently in development, will allow users to create personalized avatars by combining user-supplied images, text prompts, and Meta's AI Llama model. Users will need to provide reference photos, which will be used to train Meta AI to generate images of the user in any setting. The feature will be optional and can be enabled in WhatsApp settings. Avatars can be created by typing "Imagine me" with a description of the setting in Meta AI chat or in other WhatsApp conversations by typing "@Meta AI imagine me...".
