What is Muse, and how does it work?

Muse is Meta's personal AI agent. Unlike a chatbot that answers one question at a time, it can browse the web, make purchases, generate images, create documents and connect to apps through Connectors, working through multi-step tasks and continuing in the background after the app is closed. The official pages describe a Mac and mobile app that can organize files, handle tasks and connect Messages, Calendar and Notes. Muse asks permission before actions such as sending messages or making purchases, and you can allow once, always allow or deny. It is free with a usage limit; a paid subscription is offered if you reach it, with no price stated on the pages read.

Browses the web and completes multi-step tasks

Browses sites, buys and creates content on your behalf. People who delegate errands can hand over a task with several steps, such as browsing and buying, instead of doing each step by hand.

Access: Not statedLimit: Muse takes real actions on your behalf, so the results depend on the permissions you grant and should be checked. source (opens in a new tab)

Connectors to third-party apps and services

Access: Not statedLimit: Each app needs its own permission, and the list of supported apps is not stated in the pages we could read. source (opens in a new tab)

Background work after the app is closed

Keeps working after you close the app. Users can start a long task and leave, since Muse keeps working without the app open.

Access: FreeLimit: Background work counts toward the usage limit that applies to the free tier. source (opens in a new tab)

Permission prompts: allow once, always or deny

Asks before sensitive actions; you choose allow once, always or deny. Users keep control over sensitive steps because Muse asks first and they choose allow once, always allow or deny.

Access: Not statedLimit: The prompts are manual, so a user who picks always allow gives up that check for that action. source (opens in a new tab)
