Zuckerberg teases business tools and big AI releases in 2026

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta users will start seeing new AI models and products from the company in just a few months.

“In 2025, we rebuilt the foundation of our AI program,” Zuckerberg said on the investor call on Wednesdaymeaning about the company recently updated AI lab. “In the coming months, we will begin shipping our new models and products…

But while Zuckerberg didn’t provide specific timelines or sales, he did highlight AI-driven sales as a specific part of Meta.

“This also has business implications,” Zuckerberg continued. “The new shopping tools will allow people to find the right products from the businesses on our list.”

Those thoughts are understandable more interest in AI consumer assistants across the industry. All of them Google and OpenAI has created a platform for agent-supported operations, with companies like Stripe and Uber signed on as partners.

But while other AI laboratories have already built tools for the technology, Meta believes its access to human data will be even more important.

“We’re starting to see the promise of AI that understands our experiences, including our history, our interests, our content and our relationships,” Zuckerberg said on the call. “A lot of what makes agents valuable is the unique features they can see, and we believe Meta will provide a unique experience.”

In DecemberMeta acquired agent manufacturer Manus, which offers the same technology. At the time, Meta said it would “continue to operate and sell the Manus service, as well as integrate it with our products.”

The investor call reached the time of the release of Meta’s latest findingswhich also showed a significant increase in new construction costs. The company now expects to spend between $115 billion and $135 billion in operating expenses in 2026, up from $72 billion in 2025.

In its official statement, Meta said the jump was due to “increased funding to support our Meta Superintelligence Labs and core business efforts.”

While significant, the figure still falls short of the $600 billion that Zuckerberg estimates is said to be expected for the use of Meta infrastructure until 2028.

Meta has previously criticized investors for failing to explain clearly how its big AI investments will change the industry. But while details are still thin, Zuckerberg made it clear that the AI ​​lab’s work will reach the public soon.

“This is going to be a big year for delivering great ideas, accelerating our business, building the infrastructure for the future, and changing the way our company will operate in the future,” he told investors.
