Meta’s Muse hits Mac, letting the AI take actions on your computer

Muse is now available on the Mac, where it can work with your files and apps to take action on your behalf.

Meta has launched Muse, its new AI assistant app, for Mac users. The application allows Muse to interact with various files, messages, calendar events, notes, and emails within their native Mac applications. Muse joined a wave of AI agents gaining popularity, including others like Instinct, which has been raising significant funds at a $10 billion valuation.

Users can control the level of access Muse has on their Mac, granting permissions on an opt-in basis. The assistant asks for approval before executing sensitive actions. The Mac app launch follows Muse's rapid success on mobile and web platforms. The competition among AI agents is intensifying, potentially disrupting various industries, including apps, SaaS businesses, and even hardware such as the iPhone.
