M
Developer(s)Facebook, Inc.

M was a virtual assistant by Facebook, first announced in August 2015, that claimed to automatically complete tasks for users, such as purchase items, arrange gift deliveries, reserve restaurant tables, and arrange travel. It was intended to compete with services such as Siri and Cortana.[1] [2] In practice, over 70% of requests were answered by human operators.
