Facebook M is set to give competition to Google Now, Apples Siri and Microsofts Cortana.
Such customer service tasks arent something Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazons assistants offer.
The business model for Facebook is very clear.
M can do this because it does not depend only on artificial intelligence to answer questions, Marcus said.
Keeping money services aside, Facebook is without doubt in a very strong position in the digital assistant race.
As a platform, it knows more about us than any other social web link.
Like its rivals, M also doesnt offer predictive search results.
Facebook said that it is hoping to build the service to become much bigger.
Currently, M is launched only on the phones in Bay Area of San Francisco.
It will be rolling out to more users slowly.
As of now, there is no clarity on when it would be reaching Indian users.
