Muse
Muse is Meta's personal AI agent for carrying out multi-step work such as email, travel, shopping, forms, and longer goals. It runs on Muse Secure VM, uses Muse Spark, and is rolling out in the United States on iOS, Android, and muse.ai.
Muse turns the personal-agent idea into a consumer product with its own cloud computer, memory, browser, permissions, approval gates, and payment path. Those boundaries matter more than treating it as another chatbot or assuming every announced integration is already available.
Meta's September 8 launch confirms Muse, Muse Secure VM, the separate Sentinel agent, US rollout, iOS/Android/web access, WhatsApp interaction, supported actions, permission controls, audit history, training opt-out, and current Link checkout. Meta describes Shop Pay, 1Password, AI glasses, and Confidential VM as future additions and gives no exact subscription price.
- Delegate travel, shopping, email, form, and scheduling tasks with approval checkpoints.
- Keep a longer personal goal moving after the app is closed.
- Coordinate work across connected apps while retaining scoped permissions.
- Review a personal agent through its audit trail, approvals, result quality, and supervision cost.
Muse runs on Muse Secure VM, a dedicated virtual machine with its own browser. A person can talk to it through the Muse app or WhatsApp, give it a task or longer goal, and let it keep working after the app closes. Meta says Muse can browse, fill forms, send email, book travel, negotiate, organize plans, and return when something changes or an approval is needed.
- Muse is the agent product; Muse Spark is the model that powers it.
- A dedicated VM does not mean unrestricted authority: connected apps, credentials, and actions remain permission-bound.
- Long-running work should still be judged by the completed result, audit trail, cost, and human supervision required.
Meta says a separate Sentinel agent runs on the same machine but is isolated from Muse at the system level. Sentinel reviews outbound internet actions, while Muse asks the person before sensitive steps such as sending an email or making a purchase. The product also exposes a complete audit trail of completed and planned actions.
People choose which apps Muse can use and whether a connection is read-only or can perform actions. Credentials and payment methods are stored so Muse can use them without seeing their values; connections can be revoked, remembered details can be forgotten, and people can opt out of model training. Meta says VM data and Muse conversations are not shared with its advertising systems. Confidential VM, where even Meta cannot access the encrypted VM, is promised for later in 2026 and is not a current feature.
Muse can check out with Stripe Link, which uses a one-time card and covers eligible purchases with Link protections. Shop Pay and 1Password were not available at launch; Meta lists them as planned future integrations. Treat them as unavailable until their own launch and active product surfaces confirm otherwise.
Muse is rolling out in the United States on iOS, Android, and muse.ai. Meta says it is free for most needs and offers subscription plans for people who want to do more, but the launch does not publish exact plan prices or usage limits. AI-glasses access is a future feature with no verified launch date in the reviewed source. Verify the active account, platform, limits, and checkout terms before depending on it.

Muse FAQ
Common questions about Muse.
Is Meta Muse available now?+
Muse is rolling out in the United States on iOS, Android, and muse.ai. A rollout announcement does not prove that every account already has access, and the reviewed source does not establish a launch date for AI-glasses support.
Is Meta Muse free?+
Meta says Muse is free for most needs and has subscription plans for people who want to do more. The launch does not publish exact prices or usage limits, so check the active product before comparing total cost.
Can Muse make purchases or send email on its own?+
Muse can prepare and carry out those workflows, but Meta says it asks for approval before sensitive actions such as sending an email or making a purchase. Its authority also depends on the permissions granted to each connected app.
Can Muse see my passwords and card number?+
Meta says Muse does not see password or payment-method values. Credentials are placed in secure storage so the agent can use them, and Stripe Link can issue a one-time card for checkout. That is a vendor security claim, not a reason to grant unnecessary access.
Does Meta use Muse conversations for ads or model training?+
Meta says conversations and VM data are not shared with its advertising systems. People can also opt out of their interactions being used to train Meta AI models. Review the current product controls and policy for the exact account and region.
Is Muse the same thing as Muse Spark?+
No. Muse is the personal-agent product with a cloud computer, browser, memory, permissions, and app integrations. Muse Spark is the underlying model family and has a separate API, pricing, and availability contract.
