  • 3.6 billion people used at least one Meta app daily in the second quarter, pushing the company to lean on AI to deepen engagement rather than chase many new users.
  • AI recommendation systems on Facebook and Instagram are meant to keep users watching longer, while AI creative tools help advertisers improve conversions and justify higher ad prices.
  • Meta is also testing AI business agents on WhatsApp and Instagram, and Mark Zuckerberg sees personal AI agents eventually expanding social-media use and pulling some advice-seeking traffic from platforms like Google.
