Meta's Agentic AI Assistant: Daily Tasks & Shopping Tool

Meta is building a new AI assistant to help you with daily tasks. This isn't just another chatbot. What's interesting is this "agentic" AI can connect with different tools and learn with less human help. It's similar to OpenAI's "OpenClaw" and Meta is even testing its own version called "Hatch" internally right now. They aim to finish those tests by the end of June. Here's the thing: Meta also plans to launch an AI shopping tool on Instagram before late 2026. This all comes as Meta significantly boosts its AI spending, raising its capital expenditure forecast for 2026 to as much as $145 billion. This massive investment shows how serious tech giants are about dominating the AI future.
