Facebook is building a digital assistant that will be able to tell people what to buy, according to reports.

The new software will be able to help people out through Messenger, its chat platform. It won't be so similar to Cortana, Siri or Google Now — the assistants built by the big tech companies — instead focusing on help people research products and then handing them off to real people, according to The Information.

The new service will work like a concierge, according to the report. Like competitors including Operator and GoButler, it will aim to help connect users to the people that they want to order products from.
