New Delhi: Mark Zuckerberg is quietly testing what could become one of the most personal uses of artificial intelligence inside Big Tech. The Meta CEO is building a “CEO agent” to assist him with day-to-day work, as the company pushes deeper into AI-led operations.
This comes at a time when Meta is reworking how work gets done across its nearly 78,000 employees. The focus seems to be to move faster, reduce layers, and get more output from individuals.
Meta’s ceo agent is already in use
According to a WSJ report, Zuckerberg’s AI agent is still being built, but it is already helping him fetch information quickly. Instead of going through multiple teams, the system pulls answers directly.
This might sound like a small change, but inside a company as large as Meta, even small time savings add up. Zuckerberg has already spoken about this shift. “We’re investing in AI-native tooling so individuals at Meta can get more done. We’re elevating individual contributors and flattening teams,” he said.
Inside meta’s ai-first workplace shift
The CEO agent is just one part of a wider change. AI tools are now spreading across Meta’s teams at a fast pace. Employees are building and sharing their own tools. Some systems can search documents, manage tasks, or even act like a digital chief of staff.
There are even cases where personal AI agents talk to other agents on behalf of employees. Meta has tied AI usage to performance reviews, too, and pushes people to adopt these tools quickly. Some employees find this exciting. Others feel the pressure building up.
Faster work, but concerns remain
There is clear energy inside Meta right now. Some employees compare it to the company’s early days, when things moved fast and teams built aggressively.
But there is also caution, past layoffs are still fresh in memory. Around 11,000 roles were cut earlier, followed by another 10,000 during what Zuckerberg called the “year of efficiency.”
So when AI becomes central to work, the big question remains. Does it help people work better, or reduce the need for them over time.
