Meta Platforms to showcase the new AI chatbot with distinct personalities at its Meta Connect conference this week.

The tool is primarily intended to boost user engagement, although some might also possess productivity-oriented capabilities, like assisting with coding or other tasks.Targeting a younger audience has become a key focus for Meta, driven by TikTok's surge in popularity among teenagers, which has surpassed Instagram in recent years.
