24 Jul
Summary
- Meta AI now accesses calendars for event planning and daily briefings.
- New Muse Spark 1.1 model enhances research and task management.
- Assistant can now adjust responses mid-progress like ChatGPT.
Meta has announced a substantial upgrade to its AI chatbot, Meta AI, introducing advanced productivity features designed to compete with leading AI rivals. The updated assistant can now integrate with user calendars to facilitate event planning and provide personalized daily briefings.
This evolution, described by Meta as a step toward 'personal superintelligence,' is powered by the newly released Muse Spark 1.1 model. This model enhances Meta AI's capabilities beyond its previous functions of answering questions, generating images, and drafting documents, enabling more in-depth, steerable research.
Meta AI's new features include browsing marketplaces for budget-friendly items, searching for suitable restaurants while checking calendar availability, and managing recurring tasks like weekly meal plans or product restock updates without constant re-prompting. The assistant is also improved at web-based information summarization and allows users to adjust its responses mid-generation, similar to ChatGPT.
The enhanced Meta AI assistant is beginning its rollout today in select markets via the Meta AI app and web interface, with wider availability on platforms like WhatsApp expected in the coming weeks.
