Meta 正将其 AI 聊天机器人打造得更像助手

Meta 正在为其 AI 聊天机器人升级一系列新的生产力功能，以与 Gemini、ChatGPT 和 Claude 等竞争对手抗衡。这项更新将允许 Meta AI访问你的日历，协助你规划活动并生成每日简报；它还可进行深度研究，并允许你在研究推进过程中调整其方向。

Meta 在一篇博客文章中表示，此次更新标志着其迈向“个人超级智能”的“下一步”，这也是首席执行官马克·扎克伯格曾宣传为 AI 未来的方向。Meta 使用其新近发布的 Muse Spark 1.1 模型为此次更新提供支持。该公司称，这将使其聊天机器人超越当前回答问题、生成图像和起草文档的能力。

这标志着该公司对先前战略的逆转。Meta 首席产品官 Chris Cox 去年曾告诉员工，公司目标是“专注于娱乐”和“与朋友的连接”，而不是像 OpenAI、Google 和 Anthropic 那样“执着地专注于生产力”，正如 Alex Heath 报道的那样。

如今，Meta 表示，其 AI 聊天机器人可以根据你的日历生成当日摘要，或浏览 Facebook Marketplace，为符合你厨房改造预算的二手家具提供建议。它还可以为你正在规划的活动搜索餐厅，并查看你的日历以挑选符合你时间安排的日期。此外，Meta 表示，“你只需使用 Meta AI 设置一次任务，之后便可让 Meta AI 处理这些任务”。这意味着它无需再次提示即可为你提供日历简报、按周生成膳食计划，或提供商品补货更新。

该公司称，其 AI 助手在汇总网络各处的信息，并将其整理成报告、演示文稿或计划方面也有所提升。用户如今还可以在 Meta AI 生成回复的过程中调整其方向，类似于 ChatGPT 提供的功能。

Meta 更新后的 AI 助手今日起将在 Meta AI 应用和网页端的“部分市场”推出。未来数周内，它将面向更多国家的用户以及 WhatsApp 等其他平台开放。

Meta is upgrading its AI chatbot with new productivity features in a bid to compete with rivals like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude. The update will allow Meta AI to tap into your calendar to help you plan events and generate daily briefings, as well as perform in-depth research that you can steer as it progresses.

In a blog post, Meta says this update marks its “next step toward personal superintelligence,” something CEO Mark Zuckerberg has touted as the future of AI. Meta is powering the update with its newly released Muse Spark 1.1 model, which the company says will allow its chatbot to go beyond its current capabilities of answering questions, generating images, and drafting documents.

It marks a reversal from the company’s previous strategy, as Meta CPO Chris Cox told employees last year that the goal is to “focus on entertainment” and “connection with friends,” rather than “focusing obsessively on productivity” like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, as reported by Alex Heath.

Now, Meta says its AI chatbot can generate daily summaries of your day based on your calendar, or browse Facebook Marketplace for used furniture that suits your kitchen renovation budget. It can also search for restaurants for an event you’re planning and check your calendar to pick a day that fits into your schedule. Additionally, Meta says “you only have to set up tasks with Meta AI once, then you can leave Meta AI to handle them,” allowing it to give you calendar briefings without re-prompting, generate meal plans on a weekly basis, or provide updates on product restocks.

The company says its AI assistant is also better at summarizing information from across the web and putting it into a report, presentation, or plan. You can now adjust Meta AI’s direction in the middle of its response as well, similar to what you can do with ChatGPT.

Meta’s updated AI assistant is rolling out today in “select markets” in the Meta AI app and on the web. It will become available to users in more countries and on other platforms, such as WhatsApp, “in the coming weeks.”
