Meta Platforms Inc. has unveiled Muse, a personal AI agent designed to be "simple to use" and "trustworthy." The app, available on iOS, Android, and web, allows users to communicate with Muse through messages and automate various digital tasks such as sending emails, booking flights, reserving restaurant tables, and even selling cars.
Muse operates within a secure cloud environment and is built with privacy in mind, ensuring that users' data remains protected. Users can try Muse for free, but advanced features may require a subscription. The agent leverages Stripe's new payment infrastructure, Link, for secure transactions. To enhance security, Meta's Secure VM isolates the agent's activity, and Sentinel monitors all data movements outside the user's virtual machine, prompting approval for any unauthorized actions.
Despite its privacy-focused design, users will need to trust Meta not to misuse their data, as the company technically could access SecureVMs if it chose to. In the future, Meta plans to introduce a Confidential VM version of Muse, providing users with full control over security keys.
