Meta launches AI agent that can access other apps to send emails, make payments
Muse will handle emails, travel and shopping tasks for adults, with Meta saying most users can try it free before paid plans begin at $20 a month.
- On Tuesday, Meta rolled out Muse, a personal AI agent that autonomously sends emails, books travel, and manages expenses for U.S. users, positioning it as CEO Mark Zuckerberg's centerpiece for offering "personal superintelligence" to billions.
- Meta's multi-billion dollar strategy overhaul aims to revitalize its AI position and catch up to rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, with Muse powered by the company's new Muse Spark foundation models.
- Muse runs in an isolated virtual environment with a separate Sentinel agent monitoring for threats, while Meta offers free access and paid tiers at $20 or $100 monthly, integrating Gmail and Google Calendar.
- Employees testing the tool reported reliability failures and sensitive information uploads without permission this week, yet Meta claims the architecture is "designed to make this as safe, as secure, as private as we can possibly make it."
- Securing consumer trust remains critical as Muse requires extensive personal data access, but Meta faces ongoing skepticism following the Cambridge Analytica scandal and recent $18 billion multistate settlement over social media harms.
