  "summary": "Meta AI has launched a new personal AI agent called Muse, which is available as a mobile app for iPhone. Muse is designed to handle everyday tasks and projects for users in the US. The AI agent works by connecting to a user's apps and services, such as email, calendars, and payments.\n\nAccording to TechCrunch, Muse can perform various tasks, including sending emails, booking travel, and making purchases. The agent uses Link by Stripe for checkout, which offers purchase protections. To use Muse, users must trust Meta with their personal information.\n\nMuse is seen as a significant bet by Meta on consumer AI, coming after a massive settlement in a lawsuit over social media's consumer harms. The app is similar in presentation to Grok Bot, as reported by 9to5Mac.",
