Meta bets on AI agent Muse to catch up in AI race
Meta launched Muse, a free personal AI agent in the US that autonomously shops, emails, and plans trips, powered by its in-house Muse Spark model.
Meta unveiled Muse, a consumer personal AI agent that handles tasks like online shopping, emailing, and trip planning, continues working in the background, and requests approval for purchases. It launches in the US on iOS, Android, and muse.ai, is free for most users with unspecified paid tiers, and runs on Meta's in-house Muse Spark model. Muse executes on a cloud virtual machine with a Sentinel agent policing outbound actions, and Meta promises an encrypted confidential VM later this year plus 1Password, Shop Pay, and Stripe Link support. The launch is positioned as the centerpiece of Meta's effort to catch up with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
