Facebook testings a virtual assistant on Facebook’s Messenger

Social networking giant Facebook has been busy.

According to engadget.com, the company has been working on a virtual assistant called Moneypenny and this feature will be available on Facebook’s Messenger app.

The post says that “Moneypenny” will allow the users to ask real people for help with things.

This new feature will also help with research and shopping of the users.

A release date wasn’t given and details are otherwise pretty non-existent but the function being a part of Messenger will help it avoid a fate similar to the Home or Poke apps.
