- Meta is focusing on existing advertisers with cross-app AI agents.
- The company plans to offer its internal tools to external enterprise customers.
- Meta sees opportunities to sell compute at a significant premium.
- Large language models are being used to rapidly build new social apps.
Initially, the company will focus on the opportunity to serve its existing base of advertisers by offering AI agents that work across messaging apps and elsewhere. These allow businesses to interact with their own customers through an AI interface.
Mark Zuckerberg also fleshed out how Meta could expand beyond serving the small business customer that makes up much of its current advertiser base by offering Meta’s internal tools to external customers in the future.

Transitioning internal corporate tools into commercial products for external enterprise clients is a proven strategy for tech giants to monetize their heavy internal R&D investments and maximize returns on AI infrastructure.
Meanwhile, in terms of Meta selling compute to enterprise customers, Meta is focused on balancing its need for revenue and its need to execute on its own future plans. That said, the company pointed out multiple times that it currently has the opportunity to sell compute at a significant premium over what the company paid for it.

Consumers, too, are being promised personal AI agents, as well as AI smart glasses that can interact with the world in front of them.
Plus, Meta is using AI technology, specifically large language models, to more rapidly build out its suite of social apps. Recent launches on this front have included an app for Marketplace sellers, another for Facebook Groups, one for vibe-coded games, and other experiments, with more on the way as Zuckerberg teased.
