To create an AI avatar, users will need to upload a single selfie or a set of self-portraits. This image will serve as the foundation for Meta AI to generate various images of the user in different settings. Users can initiate the avatar creation process by typing “Imagine me” followed by a description of the desired backdrop within the Meta AI chat or in other WhatsApp conversations using the command “@Meta AI imagine me…”

Generating the Avatar
Once the user has uploaded their selfie or self-portraits, Meta AI will use its advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze the facial features, expressions, and other visual elements of the provided image(s). This data will then be used to generate a personalized 3D avatar that closely resembles the user’s appearance.

Customizing the Avatar
Users will have the ability to further customize their avatar by selecting from a variety of pre-designed outfits, accessories, and backgrounds. This allows individuals to create their ideal avatar representation, tailored to their personal style and preferences.

Utilizing the Avatar
The generated AI avatar can be used in a variety of ways, such as for social media profile pictures, virtual meeting backgrounds, or even as a digital representation in metaverse environments. This feature aims to provide users with a more personalized and engaging digital presence.
