Facebook launches its AI assistant 'M' in the UK

Facebook has today launched its AI assistant'M' in the UK, four months after the service was made available in the US. M, which is run through Messenger, uses machine learning to recognise what you are talking about and offers suggestions that it thinks you might like. M will pop up and present helpful actions in the chat window of the app, perhaps sending a fun sticker, sharing your location or making plans to meet friends. It also allows you to save content from chats to view later, including URLs, videos, Facebook posts, events, and pages. A digital assistant launched by Facebook for Messenger is coming to the UK from today.
