Leaked docs reveal Meta is training its chatbots to message you first, remember your chats, and keep you talking

Leaked internal documents reveal that Meta is training its custom AI chatbots to be way more proactive: they’ll ping you first, remember past conversations, and tailor follow-ups to keep you engaged on its AI Studio platform. The goal is to boost user retention by making these bots feel more like digital companions than simple Q&A tools.

Meta’s contractor partner Alignerr is helping build out these memory and personalization features, while Mark Zuckerberg touts AI companions as a potential cure for the “loneliness epidemic.” By nudging users with unprompted messages, Meta hopes to turn casual interactions into ongoing chat relationships.```
