Meta Tests Muse AI Agent Calls That Are Actually Made By Humans in a Call Center
Meta is testing Muse phone calls that human call-center agents, not only AI, complete.
404 Media reports that Meta’s Muse beta for calling US businesses uses a “human agent layer” that places and completes some calls. Internal posts seen by the outlet say trained people handle requests and return a transcript and summary, while employees questioned privacy if users assume only AI is involved. Meta said employee dogfooding is meant to add safety and privacy protections before any public release with proper disclosures.
- Muse beta routes some outbound business calls to trained human agents.
- Employees said testers were not told a human made the call.
- Staff warned contractors could see sensitive requests such as medical appointments.
- Meta says the feature is pre-launch and will ship with disclosures.

"This has potential for so much negative PR. It could portray us as ‘their AI is not good enough so they still need humans’ kind of coverage for this launch."
