Meta has launched Muse, a personal AI agent designed to handle tasks across home and work. According to TechRadar, the service can help with recipes, shopping lists, calendars, email and longer-term plans, positioning it as an always-on assistant for nontechnical users.
From goals to tasks
Muse is intended to turn a user’s broad objective into a personalized plan, coordinate time and resources, and continue advancing the work independently, Meta says. The company presents possible uses ranging from holiday and fitness planning to larger projects such as starting a business.
Approval before email
The agent can draft and send emails, although Meta says it will request approval before sending them. It is offered through dedicated apps and a website, and Meta says it can continue working behind the scenes even when the app is turned off.
Connections and control
Muse may establish connections to third-party services when a public API is available. Meta names Stripe, Google Workspace and 1Password as examples. That access could extend the agent’s usefulness, but it also increases the consequences of incorrect actions or excessive permissions.
Privacy claims remain untested
Meta says it built a Muse Secure VM to provide privacy, safety and security protections, while allowing each person to decide how much access the agent receives. The company also acknowledges that Muse will make mistakes and argues that its safeguards should reduce their frequency and impact. The source provides no independent testing, availability details or pricing.
