Mark Zuckerberg tells staff that AI agents haven’t progressed as quickly as he’d hoped

He stated that the development of AI agents has not 'accelerated in the way' that company executives had anticipated. The remark was made during a Q&A session with employees.

Meta has positioned AI agents as a key part of its future product strategy. No specific metrics or revised timelines were provided in the reported remarks.

The acknowledgment of slower-than-expected progress contrasts with Meta's previous public optimism about AI agents. In recent months, executives including Zuckerberg have discussed AI agents as a major growth area. Meta has not yet issued a public response to the report beyond the town hall comments.
