Mark Zuckerberg says he uses AI agent to be a better father, better husband

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has revealed that he employs an artificial intelligence agent called Muse to improve his role as a father, husband, and friend. In a recent interview on the Sources podcast, Zuckerberg explained how Muse helps him in various aspects of his personal life.

For weekends with his three-year-old daughter, Zuckerberg uses Muse to plan family baking sessions. Despite having little experience in baking, the tech billionaire asked the AI agent to arrange weekend baking projects for them, choosing activities suitable for both a young child and an adult. Muse assists in arranging the necessary ingredients, even using services like Instacart to ensure they are ready by Sunday.

Although some projects have gone smoothly, others, like making cake pops, proved to be challenging, leading Zuckerberg to joke about skipping such activities in the future.

Zuckerberg also employs Muse to help plan mountain-climbing trips with his older daughter who has taken an interest in climbing. The agent monitors and secures mountain climbing permits when they become available, allowing the family to take a day off work and go climbing together. Additionally, Zuckerberg uses Muse to support his fitness training, installing cameras in his MMA gym and asking Muse to review the footage and provide feedback.

While the feedback can sometimes be blunt, Zuckerberg appreciates the agent's honest assessment of his performance during workouts.
