Meta launched on Tuesday a personal artificial intelligence agent, Muse, for people 18 and over who are looking for help with day-to-day tasks like schedules, shopping and, in the company’s words, turning “long-term goals into action plans.”
The parent company of Instagram and Facebook is stressing the safety and privacy features of the agent, which for now is only available in the U.S. Muse, Meta said, runs on a dedicated, secure virtual machine that houses both the agent and the user’s data.
People can message the agent in a separate app, called Muse, or message it in WhatsApp. It can handle simple tasks like sending an email or booking travel, or bigger, long-term goals like creating a yearlong exercise plan or setting up a new business.
