At its Conversations conference in London (June 3, 2026), Meta unveiled enterprise AI agents that can book appointments and close sales on behalf of businesses, plus a broader Business Agent Platform giving companies infrastructure to build custom agents connected to hundreds of non-Meta systems like Shopify and Zendesk. It extends agentic commerce directly into Meta's messaging surfaces at WhatsApp's global scale. The play targets SMB operations automation rather than developer-first agent tooling.
