Like most tech companies, this development signifies Snapchat's commitment to integrating advanced AI technologies to enrich user experiences. The initial offerings include a fox that snuggles on the user's shoulder, raccoons scampering over the user's head, and flowers appearing in front of the user as the camera zooms out. Snap plans to update these "AI Video Lenses" weekly, utilising its in-house generative video model.

This presents an opportunity to explore innovative advertising strategies within Snapchat's evolving platform.
