The next phase of generative AI involves AI agents—chatbot tools capable of handling tasks and projects on your behalf.
OpenAI recently took a step in this direction with the launch of its “Operator” app, which can initiate web-based actions at your request.
Now, Meta appears to be exploring similar capabilities, testing a new task assignment feature that operates through direct messages.
As seen in this example shared by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi, Instagram is currently testing a new “Create Task” prompt within its DM options, allowing users to initiate a simple action based on the content of a message.
This could be a convenient way to keep track of important prompts and reminders, potentially becoming a highly useful and widely adopted feature over time.
