The Meta CEO is reportedly building an artificial intelligence agent to assist with his tasks, as part of a wider push to adopt AI in the company’s day-to-day workflow.

Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg is building an artificial intelligence (AI) agent to help him perform his executive duties autonomously, according to a report
An AI agent can autonomously plan and carry out tasks on a user’s behalf, with little human intervention, such as searching for information and carrying out tasks such as helping to plan a holiday
Zuckerberg is developing the agent to complete tasks faster
For instance, the bot will allow the tech multibillionaire to retrieve information more quickly, without having to go through reports and the organisation’s management structure, according to The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)
The development is part of a broader move to integrate AI in all Meta employees’ workflows, so that the company can shave layers from its organisational structure and remain competitive in the race to adopt AI, according to WSJ
“We’re elevating individual contributors and flattening teams,” Zuckerberg said on a company earnings call last month, the WSJ reported
“If we do this, then I think that we’re going to get a lot more done and I think it’ll be a lot more fun.”

Meta employees are already reportedly using AI tools such as‘Second Brain,’ which helps locate and organise documents, and ‘My Claw,’ a personalised AI agent which can communicate with other people’s agents, and acts similarly to personal assistants.

Meta acquired Moltbook, a social network for AI chatbots, earlier this month
The company has reportedly also set up an internal messaging board, similar to some of Moltbook’s features, for AI agents to chat with each other
Meta also acquired the AI agent company Manus last year
