    Meta Muse AI Still Unavailable in India: VPN Risks, Pricing, and Alternatives

    Meta’s new AI agent, Muse, is not available in India. For now, only adults in the US and Canada can use it. Meta launched Muse in the US on September 8 and expanded access to Canada on September 18. The company has not announced when — or if — India will get access.

    What Makes Muse Different From Meta AI?

    Muse is not the same as Meta AI, which Indian users already have through WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. Meta AI mostly answers questions. Muse goes further: it runs on its own cloud computer and browser, and it can complete tasks across different apps. It keeps working even after someone closes the app, and it asks for approval before doing things like sending an email or making a purchase.

    Why VPN Workarounds Are Risky

    Some online suggestions claim that using a US-based VPN can help Indian users reach the Muse website. That approach is not safe. Meta’s terms require users to be physically located in a country where Muse operates. A VPN does not change a person’s actual location, so using one violates the rule. Anyone who tries it risks having their linked Meta account suspended.

    Phones make this even harder. Whether Muse appears in the App Store or Google Play depends on the account’s region settings. The app is not listed on the Indian App Store at all.

    Muse Pricing

    • Free plan: limited use
    • Power plan: USD 20 per month (around Rs. 1,900)
    • Max plan: USD 100 per month (around Rs. 9,500)

    Both paid plans are billed through Apple or Google. The shopping and payment features inside Muse currently work only for US users.

    What Indian Users Can Use Instead

    For those who want a taste of the technology behind Muse, the underlying model, called Muse Spark 1.3, is available through OpenRouter. Users pay per token. This provides access to the model, not the full Muse agent experience with tasks and browsing.

    Meta AI remains the practical option for Indian users on Meta’s own platforms.

    Will Muse Come to India?

    Meta says Muse will reach more countries over time, but it has not confirmed a date for India. Anyone tempted to try unofficial workarounds should weigh the risk to their Meta accounts against the limited benefit they would actually gain.

    Meta Unveils Muse AI Agent: Automates Emails, Travel Bookings, and Daily Tasks with Secure Cloud VM

    Meta has officially launched Muse, a personal AI agent designed to handle everyday chores like sending emails, booking travel, and completing multi-step tasks on behalf of users. The announcement was made on September 8, 2026, and the agent is now available in the United States through the Muse app and WhatsApp.

    Powered by Muse Spark, Meta’s most advanced model for agentic tasks, Muse operates as a conversational assistant that can go beyond simple chat. Users describe what they need—such as planning a dinner party or creating a grocery list from a saved Instagram recipe—and Muse builds a plan, opens a browser, fills in forms, and executes steps even after the user closes the app. It pauses to request approval before sending an email or making a purchase, ensuring the user remains in control at all times.

    Security and Privacy Features

    Security is a cornerstone of the Muse launch. The agent runs inside a Secure VM, a dedicated cloud computer isolated from other agents. User data and connected service credentials are stored in this environment. Users can choose which apps Muse can access, limit its actions, disconnect services, or instruct it to forget stored information entirely.

    Rollout and Future Plans

    Muse is currently limited to the US, with a broader rollout expected soon. Meta plans to integrate the assistant into its AI glasses lineup as the next major step. Most day-to-day functions will remain free, but the company has indicated that paid subscription plans will be introduced for users who want deeper access to advanced features. Exact dates for the glasses integration and subscription rollout have not been announced.

    Meta announced the launch on X, describing Muse as a personal AI agent that gets things done across every part of life. The company emphasized that the agent is built to help people complete real-world tasks with less effort, leveraging the power of Muse Spark.
