Meta is pushing forward with plans to develop its artificial intelligence offering to businesses, as the social media platform rolls out a new AI tool internally that aims to boost productivity.
The AI software, called Metamate after the internal name for the group’s employees, is built on the tech giant’s large language model, Llama, and is used for coding, conducting research, as well as drafting communications internally and externally.
Prashant Ratanchandani, Meta’s VP of engineering who leads Metamate’s development, said there were no plans to release the software for external use but that the project offered valuable insights into enterprise AI applications. He told the FT that Meta wanted to create “the world’s best enterprise assistant”.
