The AI chatbot can generate various types of content, such as stickers, images, jokes, stories, and more, based on the user's input and preferences.

The AI chatbot can also answer questions, give feedback, and provide suggestions on various topics, such as travel, entertainment, education, and health.

The AI chatbot is accessible through a new shortcut button in the WhatsApp keyboard, which opens a chat window with the AI assistant.

The AI chatbot is still in beta testing and has some limitations and challenges, such as producing inaccurate or inappropriate responses, being sensitive to input phrasing, and being excessively verbose.
