Meta Debuts AI Assistant with Memory and Multimodal Video Context

Meta has unveiled a powerful new iteration of its AI assistant that combines persistent memory, live video comprehension, and real-time conversational context. It can summarize ongoing interactions, recall past preferences, and integrate multimodal signals (e.g., objects in view, sound, and prior user queries). The assistant will be embedded across WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses — representing Meta’s clearest bet yet on “ambient computing.” Unlike previous releases, this assistant supports streaming context windows, on-device memory modules, and low-latency language grounding.

BytePlanet Insight:

Meta is turning messaging into an operating system. This leap puts it ahead of Apple and Google in persistent, real-world AI interaction — a shift from reactive to proactive assistants that act more like teammates than tools.

🦄 Startup Spotlight

Vocode Launches Real-Time AI Voice Agent API

Vocode, a Y Combinator-backed startup, has launched a developer-facing API platform for building AI voice agents that speak fluently, interrupt naturally, and respond in real time — without latency or script delays. It supports dynamic personas, backend function calls, and a multi-turn memory model to track user state across calls. Integrations with Twilio, Zoom Phone, and native SIP make deployment enterprise-ready. Early users in the real estate, finance, and telehealth sectors report reductions in call handling time by 60% and boosted lead conversion.

BytePlanet Insight:

The battle for the “AI voice layer” is heating up — but Vocode’s real-time interrupt handling, non-repetitive phrasing, and dev-first design may give it the edge over incumbents like PolyAI or ElevenLabs. The next call center revolution won’t just be cheap — it’ll be smart.— and humanoids could finally move from R&D into real blue-collar workflows.

🏆 AI Tool of the Day

Perplexity Pages – AI Answers, Structured for Sharing

Perplexity AI’s new Pages feature transforms any AI-generated response into a modular, editable, and shareable webpage. Users can write long-form answers, cite real-time sources, and structure content using expandable sections and cards. Pages support collaboration, versioning, and remixing — making them ideal for technical explainers, internal briefings, and public knowledge hubs. Pages are also indexable and can be embedded into other platforms, like Notion or Confluence.

BytePlanet Insight:

Pages turn ephemeral chat sessions into persistent assets. They bridge the gap between Q&A and publishing, providing a powerful new way to manage and distribute trusted knowledge. Expect to see Pages used in analyst reports, product wikis, and even university syllabi.
