Meta Completes Acquisition of AI Agent Startup Dreamer, Bringing Top Tech Talent to Superintelligence Labs
Meta Platforms has completed the acqui-hire of Dreamer, the AI agent startup founded by industry veterans Hugo Barra, David Singleton, and Nicholas Jitkoff. The entire Dreamer team has joined Meta Superintelligence Labs under Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang to accelerate the company's AI agent ambitions. Dreamer had launched earlier in 2026 with a revolutionary operating system for AI agents, enabling users to discover, build, and deploy personalized AI assistants without coding. The acquisition marks Meta's second major move in the AI agent space this March, following the Moltbook acquisition earlier in the month.
