How to Use My AI on Snapchat
In addition to recommending restaurants and helping you choose the perfect photo Lens for a specific occasion, My AI includes a couple of other features that are unlike other chatbots.
Users can customize the AI chatbot with a name and "Bitmoji," which allows users to create a cartoon version of their pocket assistant. My AI can also be used in group chats by typing "@ My AI" in the message exchange followed by a question for the bot, which will then answer the query for the group.

The AI chatbot will answer questions as long as they adhere to the community guidelines that prohibit inappropriate or harmful language. Snapchat+ subscribers will soon be able to send Snap photos to My AI. According to the release, the bot will reply with a "unique generative Snap" photo of its own to "keep the visual conversation going."
The app says it uses "moderation technology" to detect inappropriate and harmful content and can temporarily restrict a user's access to My AI if they "misuse the service." The tool will also incorporate parental controls.
How to Get Rid of and Delete My AI
Users who would like to go without the feature can unpin or remove My AI from their chat feed.
