According to Axios, citing informed sources, this collaboration will enable Meta's AI chatbot to extract Reuters news to answer users' questions about current events. Starting October 25, this feature will be rolled out to U.S. users on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger through Meta's AI assistant.
