After buying Moltbook, Mark Zuckerberg hires former Google execs to work on AI agents
India Today
Meta has hired the team behind the agentic AI startup Dreamer. The startup was founded by former Google executives Hugo Barra, David Singleton, and Nicholas Jitkoff, who will now work on Meta's agentic AI plans. This announcement comes after Mark Zuckerberg acquired the AI social media platform Moltbook to bolster agentic AI development.
Agentic AI could be the next big thing in the artificial intelligence race. Following the success of OpenClaw – an open-source platform to build AI agents – every major tech firm wants a piece of this piece. Now, Meta has announced its latest move to bolster its agentic AI development by hiring the team behind the AI startup Dreamer.
The Dreamer team, including co-founders Hugo Barra, David Singleton, and Nicholas Jitkoff, will join Meta’s Superintelligence Labs group led by Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang.
The three founders have previously had stints at Google. Barra also worked at Meta and Xiaomi in the past, while Singleton was the chief technology officer of the startup Stripe. Following the announcement, Dreamer will remain a separate legal entity, and Meta will license its technology.
Dreamer, which launched earlier this year, enables users to create custom AI agents to automate tasks such as managing emails and calendars. David Singleton wrote on X that the startup already had thousands of users. Dreamer previously raised $56 million at a $500 million valuation.
Following the rise of AI agents, Meta is pushing to build its own agentic AI platform. The Mark Zuckerberg-led firm acquired Moltbook – the AI-only social media platform – earlier this month, with the Moltbook team joining the Superintelligence Labs.
Meta also announced that it was acquiring Manus AI, another agentic AI platform. The deal is reportedly worth upwards of $2 billion.
