Meta's Recipe for Building Agents as "Organizational Second Brains"
Meta's 'organizational second brain' agents capture expert logic, not just documents—and the architecture scales from compliance to security, finance, and engineering.
Why it matters
Meta is detailing a generalizable agent architecture for knowledge work across multiple enterprise domains. This is a deployment pattern and technical approach that practitioners building internal agents should study—it moves beyond document retrieval toward reasoning that mirrors domain expertise.
