Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is trending Wednesday after the company announced Muse, a personal AI agent designed to proactively help users manage tasks and achieve goals.

Muse: Meta’s AI Agent for Real-World Tasks

Muse is designed to do more than answer questions — it takes on tasks and projects directly, turning long-term goals into action plans and working on a person’s behalf across the apps they use daily. The agent runs on Muse Secure VM, a dedicated virtual machine that houses both the agent and a user’s data, and communicates through natural conversation, either in the standalone Muse app or directly within WhatsApp. Muse is powered by Muse Spark, Meta’s most capable model to date, built specifically for real-world agentic work.

Muse can handle tasks such as sending emails or booking travel and can also take on larger goals by developing personalized plans, coordinating time and resources, and advancing work independently — including opening a browser, filling out forms, and negotiating on a user’s behalf. For purchases, Muse checks out using Link, built by Stripe, becoming the first AI agent covered by Link’s purchase protections.
