Meta unveils Muse: New personal AI agent app built to execute complex daily tasks

Meta launched Muse, its first proactive personal AI agent, across iOS, Android, and web, with integration coming to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses later this year. Muse is powered by Meta Superintelligence Labs' Muse Spark model and runs on a dedicated cloud architecture called Muse Secure VM, executing multi-step tasks such as negotiating bills, coordinating schedules, and making purchases even after the user closes the app. Core features are free, with an optional power-user subscription at USD 20 per month for intensive multi-agent compute.

Moving beyond conventional conversational chatbots /tech/74378/how-3-very-different-people-use-ai-chatbots that merely answer queries, Meta has officially introduced Muse /tech/74850/meta-releases-muse-glimmer-30b-parameter-local-ai-agent-for-pc-and-mac , its first proactive personal AI agent engineered to perform complex, multi-step actions on behalf of users.

Users can set high-level objectives—such as lowering a household utility bill, organizing a complete travel itinerary, or selling a used vehicle. The agent /tech/75549/openclaw-20-is-here-a-crowdsourced-update-to-the-ai-agent-is-now-live opens browser windows, fills out digital forms, and handles cross-service coordination in the background. When prolonged multi-stage work is required, Muse continues operating after the user exits the app, proactively checking in only when significant milestones occur or when explicit user authorization is required, such as sending sensitive correspondence or confirming travel bookings. Meta just entered the AI race. 👀 Meta has launched Muse in US and its not just a chatbot, it can actually get things done for you like sending emails, booking travel, filling out forms, and shop best deals on your behalf.

Each user receives an isolated virtual computer in the cloud where their credentials and tasks reside. A separate, decoupled "Sentinel" agent monitors network requests, preventing Muse from accessing the open web without explicit permissions. For financial transactions, Muse integrates with Stripe’s Link protocol. It generates disposable, one-time-use virtual payment cards that mask the user's actual banking details, backed by built-in protections against price drops and damaged deliveries. Availability and subscriptions The Muse app is rolling out on iOS /mobile/75848/ios-27-code-reveals-5-new-potential-camera-features , Android, and web platforms, with integration heading to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses later this year. While the core features remain free for general everyday tasks, an optional power-user subscription is available at USD 20 per month approx.
