Facebook users will have a personal assistant Called "M"

 

To compete with Google, Apple, Microsoft facebook is working to launch a personal virtual assistant Called "M". 


It will assist you by recommending birthday gifts or must go restaurants while travelling. You can also use it to book appointments and send shipments. Facebook's messaging products vice president David Marcus explained "M" in his facebook page:

Today we’re beginning to test a new service called M. M is a personal digital assistant inside of Messenger that completes tasks and finds information on your behalf. It’s powered by artificial intelligence that’s trained and supervised by people.

Unlike other AI-based services in the market, M can actually complete tasks on your behalf. It can purchase items, get gifts delivered to your loved ones, book restaurants, travel arrangements, appointments and way more.

This is early in the journey to build M into an at-scale service. But it’s an exciting step towards enabling people on Messenger to get things done across a variety of things, so they can get more time to focus on what’s important in their lives.

The process is very easy. You can chat with M for any kind of assistance like you do with other contact. If necessary, it will ask you related questions which may help to set a perfect plan.

This is not officially launched yet. However, we are waiting to get a final confirmation from Facebook.
