Facebook Launches “M” Virtual Assistant


Facebook has launched "M," a text based virtual assistant integrated with Facebook Messenger that unlike Siri, Cortana, or Google Now relies on both human and artificial intelligence. M is meant to be more powerful than other assistants, for example allowing people to get recommendations on vacations, restaurants, and presents and then follow through with bookings or purchases. It can even be used for tasks like holding a spot in the phone queue of a cable company. M is currently only available to those who live in the California's Bay Area. The product will eventually be offered to all users who use Messenger.
