Facebook just introduced “M,” an AI-powered personal assistant for the Messenger app. A few features are stickers, payments, location and getting a ride. So if you say “Happy birthday,” M might pop up a row of stickers featuring balloons and cake.

If your friend says “pay me $10,” M would then show a link to Messenger’s payments function, so you can send money. If they say “Where are you?” a map location might appear. Typing the word “ride,” an Uber suggestion will appear. For now, however, you can get a taste by updating your Messages app.
