“M (virtual assistant)”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

When a user makes a request for M, it uses algorithms to determine what the user wants. If M doesn't understand, a human takes over the conversation, unbeknownst to the user. This allows M to learn.^[1]

Alex Lebrun runs the project, which began in 2015, and which in April 2017 the MIT Technology Review called "successful".^[1]

In January 2018, Facebook announced that they would be discontinuing M.^[6] The company stated that what they learned from M would be applied to other artificial intelligence projects at Facebook.^[7]

Rollout of suggestions

In April 2017, Facebook enabled suggestions, powered by M, for users in the United States. M scans chats for keywords and then suggests relevant actions. For example, a user writing "You owe me $20" to a friend triggers M to enable the user's friend to pay the user via Facebook's payment platform.^[8]^[9]^[10]
