The social networking giant, Facebook is quietly in the process of developing a virtual AI-powered assistant. The experimental assistant from the company has been made available in the Facebook Messenger app as Facebook M. It shows you the true value of having a digital assistant in your pocket that can do many things for you. Facebook M can actually understand various complex orders and can do many things like booking tickets, contacting companies for any information that you may need. This chat bot from Facebook is still in the works and is undergoing the developing stage. This one works more like the assistant Siri from Apple and it is better than Siri in returning more meaningful answers. Alex Lebrun who started this project said in a statement that everyone is the dreams of creating an AI-powered assistant that is very much smart that behaves like a human, responds like a human. As it is the most expensive thing to make this chat bot available to all the 1.2 billion Messenger users, the company made this one available to a few thousand users in 2015. The company says that this research project can be claimed as successful only after it is made available to 99.9% of the Facebook users.
