# Nossy vs Meta AI > Meta AI is already in WhatsApp. Nossy does not replace it. Nossy is a shop secretary in a connected WhatsApp direct chat, and it writes records into a spreadsheet in your Drive. ## Short answer Nossy does not replace Meta AI. Meta AI is already in WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, and it is a general assistant. Nossy can also live in a WhatsApp direct chat, but only after you connect it, and only as a shop secretary that writes to your Drive. WhatsApp group chats are not available yet. ## What Meta AI is for Meta AI is Meta's assistant inside WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and meta.ai. For many people it is the first assistant that appears in the chat app they already open. It answers questions, drafts, and image-generates. It is free. It is not a shop workbook. ## Where it breaks in a chat-run shop ### A reply is not a record Ask Meta AI to total last week's receipts and you get text in the thread. Next month the thread is gone from anyone's mind. The shop needed a row. ### It is Meta's assistant, not your staff's secretary Meta AI is a product for consumers in Meta's apps. It does not interview the owner about how the cafe runs, and it does not shape tables around that. ### Groups are a trap on this page Nossy is not in WhatsApp groups yet. If the staff group is WhatsApp, Nossy cannot join it today. LINE and Telegram groups work. This page is not a promise that Nossy is "the WhatsApp one". ## What Nossy does instead In a connected WhatsApp direct chat, Nossy is a secretary: messages and photos become workbook rows in your Drive. Keep Meta AI for general questions in the same app. Do not expect Nossy to replace the Meta AI tab. ## What Nossy does not do - Nossy works in LINE, Telegram, and WhatsApp direct chats. WhatsApp group chats and iMessage are coming soon. - Nossy does not connect to your other software yet. Tool connections are coming soon. - Nossy never messages your customers. It works inside your team's own chat, and it nudges your own people. - Nossy does not replace a POS, a payment system, or accounting software. - Nossy reads a spreadsheet you already have once, during setup, and only if you share it as anyone with the link. Day to day it sees the files it created or was sent in chat, so a file you drop into the Drive folder by hand stays invisible to it. - The report pages Nossy builds are public links that last about a day. The workbook in your Drive is the durable record. - Meta AI is free, already inside WhatsApp for a huge number of people, and it needs no setup interview. For a quick question in the same app, it is right there, and Nossy will not beat that convenience. - Meta AI works in WhatsApp groups and in Instagram and Messenger. Nossy is WhatsApp direct chats only today. Group chats are coming soon. Do not read this page as group support. ## Pricing - Plus is $20 a month with 4,000 credits. Pro is $40 with 8,000.
