Facebook is aiming for the fashion of intelligent assistants and presents M. From now on you can use the Messenger of the social network in a more intuitive and fluid way thanks to the suggestions of artificial intelligence and enrich the way you communicate with your friends.
Facebook is aiming at the fashion of intelligent assistants and presents M. As he has advanced through his own blog, the idea emerged a little over a year ago, as an artificial intelligence experiment capable of offering suggestions for almost any situation that can be raised in a conversation. The application has been tested among a small group of users over the past few months, and the experiment has been successful.
Actions you can perform
When you type words like “hello “”goodbye” or “thank you”, a stiker will appear as a suggestion next to the wizard logo so you can give a more concrete meaning to the message you want to send. In addition, ” M ” can help you better coordinate your appointments, you can share your location with contacts, and even allows you to suggest a route for a ride, or request a taxi through Uber to make your trips.
Another of the actions that this wizard facilitates is to do surveys. How many times have you ended up tired of counting and counting the votes that are made within the group chats? Also, in case you are the delinquent among your friends and you owe some money or one of your colleagues has become the smart one and owes you the rods of the previous afternoon, this assistant allows you to make transfers or claim what they owe you.
How does”M ” work?
The assistant uses learning techniques of artificial intelligence, so it offers more and more precise suggestions to help you, in a much more complete way, to elaborate your messages.
The tool is capable of making a suggestion in a conversation relevant to one of the actions listed above and the “M” logo will appear along with the suggestion, just like that. Also, the more you use it, the more it will learn about what you need and the more it will be able to help you. You always have the option to dismiss the suggestion if it’s not helpful. In case you don’t want to use it, you can always opt for the configuration so that it doesn’t bother you when writing.
The Messenger update offers a new design that gives rise to a simplified handling and a more intuitive way to use the various tools it has thanks to a new “+” tab where we can find all the options offered by the application such as games, payments, location sharing and walks.
We’ll have to wait.
This promising assistant is just a newborn who joins the fashion of attendees but we will have to wait to see how artificial intelligence works and knowing our writing patterns, and what reception it has among users. What else will M be able to offer us in the future? Well, we’ll have to wait to find out, because M will start working, first in the United States, and then spread to the rest of the world.
