Expanded AI-driven search capabilities now come with agentic features and are being rolled out on a global scale.
Facebook's AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. can now access an agentic experience through the "Agentic Capabilities in AI Mode" experiment in Labs. This new feature is designed to assist users in accomplishing tasks, such as finding restaurant reservations, local service appointments, and event tickets.
The expanded AI Mode includes agentic capabilities to provide users with results tailored to their personal preferences and interests, starting with dining-related topics. To make this experience possible, AI Mode is working with partners like OpenTable, Resy, Tock, Ticketmaster, StubHub, SeatGeek, and Booksy, among others.
AI Mode is available in English and is now accessible in the U.S., India, and the UK, but has been expanded to over 180 new countries and territories starting today. In these regions, users can take advantage of AI Mode's ability to handle longer, more complex questions and discover new restaurants and cafes that match their unique tastes.
Users can ask specific questions about reservations, including party size, date, time, location, and preferred cuisine. AI Mode will streamline the process by searching across multiple platforms and websites to present a curated list of restaurants with available reservation slots to choose from, and link directly to the booking page for easy finalization.
AI Mode also proves helpful for tasks requiring collaboration, such as planning a trip or a birthday party. Shared links in AI Mode can be deleted by the sender at any time, ensuring privacy and control over the shared information.
In addition to its agentic capabilities, AI Mode uses Project Mariner, direct partner integrations on Search, the Knowledge Graph, and Facebook Maps to help users take action on the web. This means users can compare products, plan trips, understand how-tos, and more with ease.
Facebook has partnered with AI Mode to enable agentic AI experiences that facilitate services like restaurant reservations, service appointments, and event ticketing. However, specific partner companies and the countries where these agentic capabilities are currently available were not detailed in the provided search results. No direct information about Facebook's collaborations for the agentic AI service delivery or regional availability was found in the documents reviewed.
Users in the U.S. can share AI Mode responses with friends and family through link-sharing capability. This feature allows for easy collaboration and recommendation sharing, making it even simpler to plan events and activities together. With AI Mode's agentic capabilities, Facebook is empowering people to tackle complicated tasks and discover new opportunities with ease.
