Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is a global technology company. On March 5th, Meta chief product officer Chris Cox said that the company’s upcoming Llama 4 artificial intelligence software will help power AI agents. Discussing the next version of Meta’s open-source AI software for developers during a public interview at Morgan Stanley’s technology, media and telecom conference in San Francisco, Cox said that the Llama 4 is going to have reasoning capabilities and create AI agents capable of using a web browser and other tools.

AI agents are software programs that leverage artificial intelligence to conduct multi-step tasks instead of generating responses to written prompts. Cox highlighted that more advanced AI models can be used to underpin AI agents to allow them to complete specific business-related tasks. Clara Shih, Meta’s head of business AI, told CNBC how Meta believes more businesses will use AI agents to automate complex tasks in the future.

“We already have these trusted relationships with 200 million small businesses around the world. Very soon, each of those businesses are going to have these AIs that represent them and help automate redundant tasks, help speak in their voice, help them find more customers and provide almost like a concierge service to every single one of their customers, 24/7.”
