Currently restricted to users in the U.S., the technology is being rolled out by the parent company of [Facebook](/topic/facebook) and [Instagram](/topic/instagram) with an emphasis on privacy and safety. According to Meta, Muse operates inside a dedicated, secure virtual machine that stores both the agent and personal user data. Users aged 18 and older can interact with the system through a standalone application named Muse or directly within WhatsApp. The software is built to manage quick actions such as sending emails or reserving travel, alongside broader ambitions like setting up a business or mapping out a full year of exercise. "Once a person shares a goal with Muse, it helps them develop a personalized plan and coordinate their time and resources, then advances the work on its own. It can open a browser, fill out forms, and negotiate on their behalf," the company stated in a blog post. Technology firms are positioning AI agents as the next evolution beyond standard chatbots, which offer answers and retrieve information but cannot perform tasks independently on a user's behalf. At its core, an AI agent functions similarly to a standard software program designed to execute specific tasks, like opening an application. By pairing this capability with an AI large language model, the system can locate the information required to complete jobs without needing explicit, step-by-step guidance. Rather than merely drafting text for an email, it can theoretically oversee the entire workflow—reading an incoming message from a coworker, determining an appropriate response, and sending it out independently. This release aligns with CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s broader strategy for accessible AI superintelligence for "everyone," an idea he detailed last month in a 6,500-word online essay. Though panned by critics as overly fantastical, the document describes a future where individuals gain access to tools for launching companies, receiving Ph.D.-level tutoring, and obtaining tailored lifestyle advice. "Everyone will have an exceptionally capable personal agent that understands you, your goals, and everything you care about. Your agent will work 24/7 on your behalf to improve your relationships, health, career, finances, home management, hobbies, and more," Zuckerberg wrote. "It will free up time for the things you enjoy, and help you accomplish more than you could otherwise." Whether consumers will ultimately adopt the technology remains to be seen.
