Facebook's AI assistant now stalks you on Messenger to suggest features - SiliconANGLE

Facebook Inc. announced today that it is integrating its virtual assistant "M" into Messenger to offer suggestions for features that users might want to access during their conversations. In a new blog post, Facebook Product Managers Laurent Landowski and Kemal El Moujahid said that the company has been steadily improving M behind the scenes, and now Facebook believes that M is ready to take on a more active role on the social network. "When we announced M over a year ago, it was a small AI experiment powered by humans that could fulfill almost any request," Landowski and El Moujahid said. "We learned a lot and these interactions have enabled us to build a completely automated version of M that suggests helpful actions in your chat, exposing features people may not have known were available right in Messenger." M will now track conversations in Messenger and offer suggested features based on what users are talking about.
