Snapchat isn't the first thing that comes to mind when you think of generative AI. However, the social media app is hell bent on introducing AI features in various parts of the app. One of their latest additions is My AI Snaps. But what exactly is My AI Snaps and how do you use it? We'll break it all down for you in this post.

My AI Snaps is an image generation feature that you can use to create AI images based on a text prompt right in Snapchat. You can then add filters to this AI-generated image as you would any regular Snap, add captions if you like, and then send it to your friends in the app or set it as your story.

The My AI Snap feature is currently limited to Snapchat+ subscribers and appears to be limited to US users only. We used a VPN service to test the availability of this feature in other regions and the feature disappeared outside the US

If you've used any AI image generation tool like Midjourney and DALL-E before, you know what to expect. To make your own AI Snap, you can use the pre-curated prompts or create your own, like "a magical car flying across the sky" or "a man who turned into a pickle", which has to be the funniest thing I've ever seen.
