Meta Platforms Inc. is working on developing an AI-powered search engine aimed at reducing its reliance on Google Search and Microsoft’s Bing. This initiative involves crawling the web to provide conversational answers about current events through its Meta AI chatbot.

Reducing Reliance on External Search Engines

This move is part of Meta’s broader strategy to enhance its AI capabilities and reduce dependence on other companies for information.
