Meta introduces Muse, a personal AI agent for tasks and purchases
Meta says its new Muse agent can execute tasks, remember context, and interact with services while operating inside a dedicated secure virtual machine.
01 / What happened
Meta introduced Muse, a personal AI agent that it says can plan and execute tasks such as sending email, booking travel, filling out forms, and making eligible purchases. Meta says the agent can keep working after a user closes the app and return when it needs approval.
The product is built around Muse Secure VM, a dedicated virtual machine that Meta says separates the agent and a user’s data from other agents. Meta says Muse asks for permission before sensitive actions, provides an audit trail, and lets users choose which apps it can access.
Meta says Muse is rolling out in the United States on iOS, Android, and muse.ai. It will be free for most basic use, with subscription plans for users who want more. The announcement does not disclose pricing, adoption targets, or expected revenue, so its commercial impact remains unproven.
