Meta is updating its AI chatbot with new productivity tools to better compete with rivals like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Powered by the new Muse Spark 1.1 model, Meta AI can now integrate with your calendar to plan events, generate daily briefings, browse Facebook Marketplace, and conduct steerable, in-depth web research. This marks a strategic shift for Meta, which previously prioritized entertainment and social connection over productivity. The updated features are rolling out starting today in select markets on the web and the Meta AI app, with availability expanding to WhatsApp and more countries in the coming weeks.
