Meta Upgrades AI Assistant With Calendar Integration, Rolls Out in Select Markets Today

Summary
Meta began rolling out an upgraded Meta AI in select markets, adding calendar access for daily briefings, event planning and recurring task handling without repeated prompts.
Muse Spark 1.1 powers the update, which also adds steerable in-depth research so users can redirect the chatbot mid-response and turn web findings into reports, presentations or plans.
Meta said the assistant can also browse Facebook Marketplace for budget-based purchases, suggest restaurants for events and fit recommendations around a user's schedule.
The launch marks a shift from Meta's earlier emphasis on entertainment and social connection toward productivity features aimed at competing more directly with ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude.
WhatsApp and broader country expansion are planned in the coming weeks as Meta frames the release as another step toward Mark Zuckerberg's vision of "personal superintelligence."
