How to Use Facebook M

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Get invited to the M beta.

   M is currently only available for a small group of users in California.
   
   Some of these users may be able to send out invites, but the program is very limited at the moment.
   
   You'll receive a message from "M" in Messenger if you are invited to the program., You'll be communicating with M using the Messenger app from Facebook.
   
   After being invited, you'll be able to find M in your Messenger contacts. , M is designed to converse with you in a natural way.
   
   It can respond to regular questions and comment on your responses.
   
   This is because M is more than just a chat bot; there are actual people overseeing the process.
   
   Any time M cannot complete something automatically, a real human steps in.
   
   You'll never know if you're speaking to a real person or to the AI., Simply say "Where's a good place for a cheap date downtown?" and M will respond with some options for you.
   
   You can then ask about each one for some more information, such as, "How late is the ice cream shop open?"
   
   You can use M to automate a lot of the things you used to do over the phone or through an online ordering system.
   
   M can call customer service, order food, book reservations, and more.
   
   You can even find, book, and pay a flight from start to finish.Ask M to perform a variety of different tasks, and you may be surprised what it's capable of.For example, you could ask M, "What are some good steakhouses around my work?" M may ask to clarify your current location, then it would return results based on reviews and location.
   
   You could then say, "Make me a reservation for 4 people at 6:30 tonight" and M would call the restaurant and place your reservation.
   
   After the reservation has been placed, you'll be notified that your table will be waiting.
   
   You can have M call customer service lines for you.
   
   M can call your power company and request your last bill be sent again, or it can call Amazon to check on the status of a refund.
   
   Simply ask M to do it, and in most cases M will start working without issue.
   
   In cases like these M, may ask for a bit more information, such as what you ordered or your email address. , You can set reminders with M and you'll receive a message at the appropriate time.
   
   Just tell M what you want to be reminded about and when.
   
   For example, you can tell M to remind you to clean out your gutters this weekend.
   
   M will end you reminders throughout the weekend until you let it know that you finished the task. , Ask M to send you an inspirational quote every morning and you'll receive a new quote at the same time each day.
   
   Try asking for different types of quotes to see what M can do., There are a lot of reports that M is rather slow when asked to perform tasks.
   
   This is likely because real people are performing them for you behind the scenes.
   
   Try to use M for less important activities, such as setting reservations for dinner later in the evening, or purchasing movie tickets for the weekend.
