Snapchat announced the addition of a new feature, My AI. My AI is a chatbot based on OpenAI’s ChatGPT that can engage with Snapchat users.
Snapchat joins Meta, Spotify, YouTube, and others in the race to enhance social networking with artificial intelligence to attract more users and keep them engaged with their networks longer.

Snapchat+ allows users to experience exclusive, experimental, and pre-release features first. It’s $3.99 monthly and available in several countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
This makes it less expensive than investing in ChatGPT Pro at $20 monthly.
