Meta, OpenAI and Uber Teach AI Agents to Speak First

Meta Muse, OpenAI Dots and Uber's driver assistant are shifting to proactive agents that initiate messages themselves. The hard problem becomes deciding when to interrupt, on which channel and with what offer, so the value of a message beats the cost of interrupting the user.

• Meta Muse works in its own app and WhatsApp, suggesting actions unprompted
• OpenAI Dots run proactive monitoring of apps and reach users in ChatGPT, Slack and Teams
• Uber's assistant pointed a driver idle for 33 minutes to a better zone
• Decision models like Jev and Julia 1 return a judgment in about 33 ms on CPU
