David Marcus, Facebook's VP of messaging products, revealed that the company is testing a new service called M, a personal digital assistant inside of Facebook Messenger that can complete tasks and find information on your behalf. M is powered by artificial intelligence and is trained and supervised by humans, in order to complete tasks such as making restaurant reservations, suggest birthday gifts or book weekend breaks, for example.
