Meta is giving its AI assistant new agent-like capabilities powered by Muse Spark 1.1, its latest model.
Why it matters: The effort is part of the "personal superintelligence" vision outlined by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, though the company's AI software remains less powerful than those of rivals.
Driving the news: In a blog post, the company said Meta AI can access Google Calendar and Gmail and is now capable of tasks like creating daily updates, helping with research or assisting with a redecorating project.
Yes, but: Agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and others are more capable at handling a wider range of tasks and running longer on their own.
Catch up quick: Zuckerberg also launched an AI optimism campaign this week. A source familiar with the effort told Axios it's part of a broader advertising and publicity campaign promoting Meta's AI vision.
