Feature |
Meta has announced a major upgrade to Meta AI, powered by Muse Spark 1.1, adding agentic capabilities that let the assistant plan tasks, connect with email and calendar apps, generate slide presentations, conduct web research, and complete multi-step workflows. Users can set recurring tasks such as daily briefings, meal plans, training schedules, and reminders, while Meta AI proactively follows through without repeated prompts. The assistant can also create mood boards, synthesize information into reports, generate presentations, and update work in real time based on user feedback. These features are rolling out initially in select markets through the Meta AI app and meta.ai, with expansion to additional countries and WhatsApp planned in the coming weeks. |
