Meta Platforms on Wednesday unveiled an artificial intelligence agent aimed at helping businesses carry out day-to-day operations, positioning the social ‌media giant as a player in the enterprise AI market. Announced at the company's ‌WhatsApp-focused Conversations conference in London, the new product expands on existing business messaging services by enabling "agentic" capabilities in which ​the assistant can take actions like booking calendar appointments and closing sales on behalf of businesses. The company said more than 1 million businesses were already using earlier chatbot versions of such agents on WhatsApp and Messenger.
