Meta is nearing the release of its consumer AI agent, codenamed 'Hatch', potentially integrating it into a new subscription service with a $200 monthly price tag. The company also plans to launch a platform on WhatsApp to enable better integration and coordination of third-party AI agents.
“According to roadmap documents viewed by The Information, Meta is putting the finishing touches on their consumer agent ahead of release in the coming weeks.”
“Internally, the product is known as Hatch, and sounds like it could be sort of in the Grok-bot family of delivering a more streamlined version of an open-clause style agent experience.”
“The company is reportedly looking at using Hatch as part of a new AI agent subscription which could justify a $200 a month price tag for high usage accounts.”
“Meta also plans to launch a new platform on WhatsApp to allow better integration for third-party agents.”
