Overview
- Meta released Muse in the United States on Tuesday, offering an agent that can open browsers, fill forms, send emails, book travel, negotiate on a user’s behalf and continue long-running tasks in the background.
- Each Muse instance runs inside a dedicated cloud workspace called Muse Secure VM and is overseen by a separate Sentinel monitor that Meta says blocks unauthorized internet requests and prompts users before sensitive actions.
- Muse can make purchases using Stripe’s Link, which issues one-time cards for agent checkouts and provides purchase protections, and Meta says credentials and payment details are stored so the agent cannot directly view passwords or real card numbers.
- The product is free for light use but includes paid tiers reportedly priced at $20/month (Power) and $100/month (Maximum), and it is available via muse.ai, iOS, Android and WhatsApp with AI-glasses support and a Confidential VM promised later this year.
- Journalists and internal posts report mixed lab results, including disconnects, task failures and at least one flagged security lapse, and those reliability concerns combine with Meta’s recent $18 billion multistate settlement to create a steep trust hurdle for consumer adoption.
