testingcatalog's exclusive digs into Meta's internally tested Hatch Agent:
- Beyond Business Insider's reporting: standalone mobile apps in testing, computer & browser use, goals support, Spaces, customizable agent avatars, WhatsApp/Messenger integration
- Previously known: an autonomous consumer agent that keeps working with the app closed — filling forms, purchases, deep research, food ordering, reservations, dog-sitter finding; connects to email, calendar, Spotify, Instagram, OpenTable
- Users can name agents, shape their tone and attention; one employee built an agent called Veda that found a dog sitter, bought a Father's Day gift and improved sleep habits
- Launch possible within weeks; subscription tiers include a premium plan up to $199.99/month; early prototypes had a dashboard where agents created tools like fitness trackers and travel itineraries
- Unreleased materials reveal a broader 'personal workspace' vision
