Meta memo reveals what its new AI 'Hatch' agent can do, from booking a restaurant to finding a dog sitter
Meta is developing an autonomous AI agent called 'Project Hatch' designed to perform complex online tasks like booking services and managing personal finances. The agent is currently being tested internally as Meta's answer to rising competition in the autonomous AI assistant market.
Why it matters
This signals a shift in the AI industry from simple chatbots to autonomous agents capable of executing real-world actions on behalf of users.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg says Meta is building "personal superintelligence for everyone." Bloomberg/Getty Images Meta said its coming Hatch AI agent "can do anything you can do online." Meta has been testing Hatch with employees, per an internal memo. Hatch can "remember more than most AIs," the memo said. It can DJ. It can order food. It can book you a table at a restaurant. And of course, it can access your Instagram. These are some things Meta says its coming AI agent can do, according to an internal memo seen by Business Insider. Known internally as "Project Hatch," the new agent is Meta's answer to OpenClaw , the autonomous AI assistant that went viral earlier this year as companies increasingly bet on AI capable of performing tasks rather than just answering queries.
