An internal Meta memo obtained by Business Insider outlines 'Project Hatch', a consumer AI agent that operates within a virtual browser to autonomously execute multi-step tasks. Unlike basic chatbots, Hatch can fill out forms, make online purchases, book reservations, and manage logistics like finding dog sitters. Meta is considering a premium tier for the system, raising questions about user readiness to hand over digital admin and financial data to autonomous bots.
