‘Moneypenny’ is Facebook’s new digital assistant
Facebook is looking to get in the digital assistant game. You may have heard of Google Now, Siri and Cortana. Those are all digital assistants developed for their respective operating systems. Facebook, too, is reportedly working on integrating a new voice assistant, “Moneypenny”, into its messenger application.
Moneypenny will help users purchase goods as opposed to revealing the weather and setting calendar appointments. According to The Information, Facebook’s assistant would allow Messenger users to ask real people for aid in the research and purchasing of products and services. Although they left one detail out and that is to who these people would be.
Lots of questions remain about how this will all work, but Facebook’s budding interest in the category will draw attention from some of its rivals. Its still early to know all the details, and no release date has been mentioned.
