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.
