Meta Develops Hatch AI Agent to Compete with OpenAI and AnthropicPreviousNext

Meta is developing an AI agent called Hatch to compete with established players like OpenAI and Anthropic. Hatch aims to perform tasks autonomously, such as coding or drafting presentations, and may feature a tiered pricing model with a premium subscription around $200 per month, aligning with rivals' offerings. The AI agent is reportedly consumer-focused and may operate locally on devices, with features like modular skills and a management dashboard. Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasizes AI agents as a strategic growth area despite the company lagging in large language models.
