Muse

Muse is Meta's personal AI agent that handles everyday tasks such as email, reservations, shopping and calendars on its own cloud computer.

Muse is a personal AI agent from Meta that takes on goals and everyday tasks, from sorting email and booking reservations to shopping, managing calendars, saving money and building fitness plans. Each user gets Muse Secure VM, a persistent and isolated Linux computer in the cloud with a full browser that both the person and the agent can use, so the person can step in at any point. People chat with Muse in its mobile and Mac apps or directly in WhatsApp, and approve actions such as sending email or making purchases before they happen, with a full audit trail. Logins are kept in a secure credential store the agent cannot see, a one-time card number is generated at checkout, and eligible purchases are covered by Link's purchase protection. Muse connects to everyday apps, can build its own tools, and its conversations are not shared with Meta's ad systems.
