Meta AI bought socks and booked groceries in a day — could push $227 ARPU far higher

User armandruiz reports that Meta's AI agent, in the past 24 hours, bought him socks, ordered Whole Foods groceries, booked a cleaning service and ordered dinner. Meta's last disclosed North American Facebook ARPU was $227/year, mostly from ads — but the agent now knows not just what he views, but what he needs, buys and plans. He argues Meta's bigger opportunity is becoming the aggregation layer between users and the entire internet, pushing ARPU well beyond that figure. A glimpse of consumer AI agents moving from recommendation to agentic commerce.
