Zuckerberg is creating an AI agent to help him be a CEO.
```
As AI technology becomes more deeply applied, Meta is attempting to reshape the way it works by building an “AI-native” enterprise, and it all begins with its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg.
Recently, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly been developing an exclusive “CEO agent” to help him fulfill his duties more efficiently.
According to sources cited by The Wall Street Journal, the AI agent that Zuckerberg is working on is still in development. Its main function is to help Zuckerberg acquire information faster. In the past, he might have needed to go through layers of reporting to get answers, but now, this AI agent can directly search and provide the information he needs.
This project reflects a culture within Meta: accelerating work pace, eliminating redundant organizational levels, and changing employees' daily work methods. With about 78,000 employees, Meta faces competition from much smaller but highly competitive AI-native startups, and believes that fully adopting AI is key to maintaining competitiveness.
In a financial call this January, Zuckerberg foreshadowed AI-driven efficiency: one person equals a team. He said, “We are investing in AI-native tools so that individuals at Meta can accomplish more. We are elevating the status of independent contributors and flattening teams.” He is beginning to see that “projects that used to require large teams can now be completed by a single, very talented individual.”
Internal AI Adoption: From My Claw to Second Brain
Within Meta, the use of AI tools has proliferated rapidly. Partly, this is because AI tool usage is now a factor in employee performance evaluations. According to insiders, Meta’s internal message boards are full of employees sharing new AI use cases and newly built AI tools.
Employees have begun using personal agent tools like My Claw. These tools can access their chat history and work files, and can even communicate with colleagues—or their colleagues’ personal agents—on their behalf.
Another AI tool called Second Brain has also attracted widespread internal attention. Insiders revealed that this tool—half chatbot, half agent—was built by a Meta employee based on Claude, enabling indexing and querying of documents for projects. In the internal post announcing it, the employee said it is “intended to be an AI chief of staff.”
There is even a dedicated group on the internal message board for employees’ personal agents to interact. Additionally, Meta recently acquired the AI agent social media site Moltbook and hired its founder. Meanwhile, Meta also acquired Singaporean startup Manus, which creates personal agents that perform tasks for users, and is now using this tool internally.
Organizational Reshaping: Ultra-Flat Structure and Layoff Shadows
To accelerate the development of large language models, Meta recently established a new applied AI engineering organization. Reportedly, these teams will operate with an ultra-flat structure, with as many as 50 independent contributors reporting to one manager.
Meta executive Maher Saba, who leads the new organization, wrote in an internal post announcing these teams: “We have designed this organization to be AI-native from day one.” These teams will report to CTO Andrew Bosworth.
However, this rapid change and focus on AI usage have also sparked anxiety among some employees about potential layoffs. WallstreetCN recently wrote that Meta is planning mass layoffs, possibly at a ratio of 20% or even more. Based on Meta's roughly 79,000 employees as of last December, the number of layoffs will exceed 15,000.
