Viber started testing a new feature based on artificial intelligence in Ukraine, which automatically creates short summaries of unread messages. This innovation will allow users to more quickly familiarise themselves with the content of correspondence, saving time.

The popular messenger Viber recently introduced a new artificial intelligence-based tool that will make it easier for users to manage unread messages in group chats. This feature summarises unread messages in group chats and extracts the most important parts of a user's conversation, presenting them in a condensed form.

The company says that this is “another attempt to ban sources of truthful information and limit the safe communication of people on Viber.”
