Muse AI (by Meta)
Meta's personal AI agent that completes real-world tasks like email, shopping, and travel booking on your behalf.
Visit website ↗What is Muse AI (by Meta)?
Muse is Meta’s personal AI agent, built to go beyond chat and actually execute everyday tasks for users. Muse connects to a person’s email, calendar, payments, health, shopping, and smart-home apps, then plans and carries out multi-step goals with the user’s oversight, making it aimed at general consumers who want an assistant that acts rather than just answers.
Under the hood, each user gets a persistent Muse Secure VM — an isolated cloud computer with its own browser — so the agent can keep working even after the app is closed, while a human-in-the-loop system pauses for approval before sensitive actions like sending emails or making purchases. Access is available via the muse.ai website, dedicated iOS/Android/Mac apps, and WhatsApp, with a generous free usage tier plus paid Power and Maximum plans for heavier users.

How you can use it
Personal errands: Muse can send emails, fill out forms, and handle routine admin tasks on a user's behalf.
Travel and shopping: The agent can research options, book trips, and complete purchases using a one-time card number that hides the real card from merchants.
Long-term goals: Users can hand Muse a broad objective, such as a fitness plan or starting a small project, and the agent breaks it into steps and advances it over time.
Plans & pricing
Muse uses a usage-meter pricing model based on weekly "Muse tokens" rather than separate feature tiers:
- Free – usable for most everyday tasks; Meta has cited an allowance of up to 100 million tokens per week, though a payment card is required to sign up even on this tier.
- Power – $20/month for 500 million Muse tokens per week.
- Maximum – $100/month for 3 billion Muse tokens per week.
Paid tiers unlock more usage volume rather than exclusive features, and Meta has said it expects most users to remain on the free tier.
