  "account": "Meta has introduced Muse, a personal AI agent designed to assist users with tasks, project management, and transforming long-term goals into actionable steps. Muse operates using Muse Spark, Meta's most advanced model for agentic tasks. It can be accessed via its standalone app or directly within the WhatsApp application. Unlike typical chatbots, Muse can perform actions on behalf of users, including sending emails, booking travel arrangements, opening websites, completing forms, negotiating on their behalf, and continuing its operations even when the app is closed. For more ambitious objectives, Muse can craft personalized plans, organize time and resources, and persistently work towards completion until it requires further information or approval. The AI also retains relevant details from past conversations, enabling it to perform tasks like converting a saved Instagram recipe into a shopping list, planning a dinner menu, and remembering guests' dietary restrictions. Security and privacy are central to Muse's operation. It runs on a specialized cloud computer called Muse Secure VM, where the agent, associated data, and credentials are isolated. A separate Sentinel agent monitors Muse's activities and regulates internet access. Users are prompted for consent before executing sensitive actions such as sending emails or making purchases. Meta emphasizes that Muse does not have direct access to passwords or payment information. Users have control over which services Muse can access and whether it can only read data or execute actions on their behalf. Users can revoke service access, modify permissions, request Muse to forget specific information, and opt-out of using their interactions for AI model training. Meta also states that Muse's conversations and VM data are not shared with its advertising systems. Users can make purchases using Link by Stripe, which employs one-time payment cards to obscure actual card details. Payments are protected by Link's purchase protections. Plans for supporting Shop Pay and 1Password are in the pipeline. Meta is also set to release Muse Confidential VM later this year, which will encrypt the entire virtual machine with a key solely controlled by the user, ensuring Meta cannot access the stored data. Muse launches across the US on iOS, Android, and muse.ai, with plans for AI glasses integration in the future. While most usage will be free, subscription plans with higher usage limits will be available.",
