Suggested Approach

Start by anchoring on Meta's mission and the AI assistant's role in connecting users across the family of apps. Then define a balanced set of goals across user engagement, product quality, and business impact, ensuring they are measurable and aligned with Meta's strategic priorities. Finally, prioritize goals based on impact and feasibility, and outline how you would track progress and iterate.

Pro tip: Show that you understand Meta's unique position: the assistant must serve billions of users across diverse apps (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger) while respecting privacy and safety. Emphasize goals that leverage cross-app synergies and network effects.

1. Clarify the product vision and strategic context

Restate the AI assistant's core value proposition: a ubiquitous, helpful AI that enhances user experiences across Meta's apps. Consider Meta's mission, competitive landscape, and long-term bets in AI.

2. Identify key stakeholder needs and user problems

Map out user segments (e.g., casual users, creators, businesses) and their needs. Also consider internal stakeholders (e.g., ads, integrity, infrastructure) and how the assistant can support their goals.

3. Define goal categories and specific metrics

Propose goals in three areas: user engagement (e.g., DAU, retention, interactions per user), product quality (e.g., response accuracy, latency, user satisfaction), and business impact (e.g., ad revenue lift, cost efficiency). Ensure metrics are measurable and have baselines.

4. Prioritize goals based on impact and feasibility

Use a framework like RICE or impact/effort to prioritize. Consider dependencies, technical constraints, and potential risks. Align with Meta's overall AI roadmap.

5. Outline measurement, iteration, and communication plan

Describe how you would track progress (dashboards, experiments), set targets, and iterate. Mention regular reviews with cross-functional teams and clear communication to leadership.

Key Points to Mention

  • Alignment with Meta's mission and family of apps strategy
  • User engagement metrics: DAU, retention, frequency of use, cross-app adoption
  • Product quality metrics: accuracy, relevance, safety, latency, user feedback
  • Business impact: monetization opportunities, cost savings, ecosystem effects
  • Prioritization frameworks (e.g., RICE, impact/effort) and trade-offs
  • Measurement and experimentation approach, including A/B testing and guardrail metrics
