Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Instagram launched Effect Builder, a web-based AI tool that lets users generate custom Stories filters from text descriptions, initially available to U.S. residents aged 18 and older. Users can add style reference images, upload photos to preview results, refine filters with follow-up prompts, and have the AI rewrite prompts. Finished effects can be submitted directly to Instagram, where they undergo a safety review before other users can apply them in Stories, with each effect linking back to the creator's profile. The rollout marks Instagram's push to lower the barrier to AR filter creation by replacing manual design work with generative AI. What to watch next: whether Instagram expands access beyond the U.S. and 18+ users, and how review capacity and creator attribution hold up as filter submissions scale.
