Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — Instagram has integrated a new feature that is generating excitement among users, the Meta AI. Some users in Indonesia have already gained access to this new tool, which enhances the Instagram experience by enabling conversations with a sophisticated chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
Meta AI, which was first introduced on WhatsApp, is now available on Instagram as well. On the app, the Meta AI option can be found in the search bar located above the Notes section within the Direct Message (DM) page. Unlike on WhatsApp, where Meta AI has a dedicated button, users on Instagram can access Meta AI by navigating through the DM page.
Meta AI is powered by Meta’s advanced language model, Llama 3.2. As a smart chatbot developed by Meta—the parent company of Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp—it supports multiple languages, including Indonesian.
The chatbot serves as a versatile AI assistant that can respond to a wide range of questions and tasks. Users can ask Meta AI for cooking tips, travel recommendations, content creation advice, or general inquiries. Beyond answering questions, Meta AI can also process text-based requests, such as creating written content, translating text, or summarizing information. In addition to text-based tasks, the AI can generate images based on specific prompts provided by the user.
How to Access Meta AI on Instagram
Accessing Meta AI on Instagram is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Open the Direct Message (DM) page on Instagram.
- Tap the search bar located above the Notes section, where users will see the text: “Ask Meta AI or Search.”
- Click the blue paper plane icon located to the right of the search bar.
This will open a chat window with Meta AI. Users can then enter prompts to ask questions, request tasks, or generate content. Users can also instruct Meta AI to write affirmations or create custom images based on description.

Unique Features of Meta AI
One of the standout features of Meta AI is its integration with Instagram Stories. After receiving a response from the chatbot, users have the option to share it directly to their Stories via the “Add to Story” option. Additionally, all chat histories with Meta AI are saved within the DM page, where users can pin the conversation to the top of their inbox for easy access in the future.
By introducing Meta AI, Instagram is adding a new dimension to its platform, offering users a smart, interactive assistant capable of enhancing creativity, simplifying tasks, and making conversations more engaging.
