On 20th August 2024, Soumith Chintala, Meta’s AI lead, stormed the social media platform ‘X’ by announcing Metamate, a generative AI assistant, to enhance productivity.
This product will extend the capabilities of artificial intelligence assistant applications, like Perplexity AI, by allowing users to create custom agents using Python scripts. Each agent will cater to the responsibilities of the specific team that has created the bot.
Soumith, along with Zach Rait and Aparna Ramani, developed this product to handle the requirements of large-scale organizations like Meta that operate multiple workflows simultaneously.

According to sources, Metamate offers features for a vast range of applications. Some of its most common benefits include data visualizer, document summarizer, information retrieval, and monitoring work recaps.
Along with these features, Metamate enables Meta employees to generate complex queries and perform advanced mathematical calculations. However, this product is only available for Meta employees, as it is trained on massive volumes of internal company documents.
Esther Crawford, the director of products at Meta, stated, “Any sizable company operating without an internal AI tool is already behind the curve.” Integrating machine learning algorithms with Metamate will further enhance the product.
