What is Meta's Muse AI agent?

Meta, the parent company behind Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Threads, has unveiled a new AI tool called Muse. According to Meta's chief global affairs officer, Joel Kaplan, Muse is a personal AI agent designed for everyday use. This tool is claimed to be safe, secure, and private, ensuring users maintain control over its access permissions.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced Muse on social media, describing it as an always-on assistant that understands users' goals and works around the clock to help them accomplish tasks. Users can choose which apps and services Muse can access and can disconnect these connections at any time. The company demonstrates Muse's capabilities on its website, stating that it collaborates with existing apps to expedite various tasks.

Muse remains focused on users' objectives, suggesting ideas, creating action plans, and monitoring progress while proactively handling tasks. This AI tool is part of Meta's recent lineup of AI offerings. Just a day prior, Apple was anticipated to roll out a series of new products, potentially including a foldable smartphone.
