What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Meta has been testing a feature for its personal AI assistant, Muse, that utilizes a 'human concierge' model for certain phone calls placed through the digital agent. This involves human contractors handling calls made to US businesses for tasks such as booking appointments or checking stock. The company acknowledged that the testing of this contractor-assisted calling was a 'miss' without proper disclosures and had reportedly rolled back the feature for now.
