While not currently available, Zuckerberg hinted at the capability for chatbots to vocally respond coming within the next year, and has placed emphasis on the company’s AI plans, saying, “This isn’t just gonna be about answering queries.”
“This is about entertainment and about helping you do things to connect with the people around you.”
