Meta is making its AI chatbot more like an assistant

Meta is upgrading its AI chatbot to include new productivity features like calendar integration for event planning, daily briefings, and in-depth research capabilities to compete with other AI assistants like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude. The update uses Meta's new Muse Spark 1.1 model and is part of the company's goal to develop what it calls "personal superintelligence" (a highly capable AI system that can handle many personal tasks).
