Meta Plans Advanced AI Assistant Powered by Muse Spark Model and Agentic Tools
Meta's Development of a Personalized AI Assistant
May 5 (Reuters) - Meta is building a highly personalized artificial intelligence assistant to carry out everyday tasks for its billions of users, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, as the company faces investor scrutiny over its escalating AI spending.
Agentic Tools and Muse Spark AI Model
The social media giant is developing agentic tools, including an advanced digital assistant powered by its new Muse Spark AI model, the FT said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Internal Testing and Product Goals
The assistant is being tested internally by a group of staff and the goal was to develop a product similar to OpenClaw, according to the report.
Comparison with OpenClaw
OpenClaw, which is owned by OpenAI, can connect several hardware and software tools and learn from the data produced with much less human intervention than a chatbot.
Meta's Response and Financial Strategy
Meta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Increased AI Investment Amid Social Media Challenges
The Facebook and Instagram parent raised its annual capital spending forecast late last month, signaling plans to pour billions more into AI infrastructure even as it confronts potential losses from a global youth backlash against social media.
