Meta’s AI agent is a cute little guy who’s great at spending my money
TL;DR
An adorable little bear that wants to help you buy things. Modern life comes with an unending, auto-populating to-do list. It never ceases to amaze me how I can be doing nothing at all, minding my own business, and suddenly something needs to be taken care of. You're telling me a tree branch fell in the backyard and now I have to figure out what to do with it?
Nauti's Take
The first practical test for an agent like this should use a tightly capped budget, explicit approval steps, and a complete activity log. Check whether Meta makes product selection, merchants, pricing, returns, and payment data genuinely auditable and controllable.
The available reporting does not yet provide enough detail on those safeguards.
