Meta upgrades AI chatbot with calendar, research, and briefing features

Meta is expanding its AI chatbot with new productivity capabilities to compete with Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude. The update enables Meta AI to access users' calendars for event planning, generate daily briefings, and conduct in-depth research that users can guide as it progresses. Meta is powering the upgrade with its newly released Muse Spark 1.1 model. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has described the direction as a step toward personal superintelligence, which he has positioned as the future of AI. The company says the update represents its next step in that vision, moving the chatbot beyond its current capabilities of answering questions and generating images.
