Muse keeps working after you close the app

It comes back when something changes, or when it needs your OK.

Meta Newsroom · “Introducing Muse” · Sept 8, 2026

Meta's personal AI agent, Muse, keeps working after you close the app. It comes back when something changes, or when it needs your approval, like before sending an email or buying something.

You message Muse like you'd text a person

You message Muse like you'd text a person

In the Muse app, or right inside WhatsApp.

Meta Newsroom · “Introducing Muse” · Sept 8, 2026

Talking to Muse works like messaging another person. You can use the Muse app, or message it directly in WhatsApp. You tell it what needs to get done, and it takes action.

Muse opens a browser and does the task

Fills out forms, books travel, sends email, and negotiates for you.

Meta Newsroom · “Introducing Muse” · Sept 8, 2026

Muse can open a web browser, fill out forms, book travel and send email. Meta says it can negotiate for you too, like lowering a bill or selling a car for more.

Give Muse a goal and it builds the plan

The Goals tab tracks each one.

Share a bigger goal, and Muse breaks it into a plan, then keeps taking the next step on its own. The Goals tab shows everything it's tracking, like meal planning or a family trip.

Muse remembers what you mention once

And forgets specific things when you tell it to.

Meta Newsroom · “Introducing Muse” · Sept 8, 2026

Muse remembers what matters to you, even details you mentioned only once. It can turn a recipe reel you saved on Instagram into a grocery list. And you can tell it to forget specific things.

You choose which apps Muse connects to

For email: reading only, or reading and sending.

Meta Newsroom · “Introducing Muse” · Sept 8, 2026

You decide which apps Muse connects to, and how much it can do in each. With email, you choose whether it only reads your mail or can also send for you. You can disconnect anytime.

Muse asks before it sends or buys

An Allow or Deny card for anything hard to undo.

Before sensitive actions, like sending an email or making a purchase, Muse stops and asks. You get Allow and Deny buttons. By default it browses freely and stops for anything hard to undo.

Tap your Muse to see what it's doing

Tap your Muse to see what it's doing

The full activity log, plus every permission you've approved.

You can check on Muse at any moment. Under its avatar sits a snippet of the current task. Tap the avatar and you get the full activity log, plus every permission you've approved.

Muse uses your passwords without seeing them

Purchases go through a one-time card number from Link by Stripe.

Meta Newsroom · “Introducing Muse” · Sept 8, 2026

Passwords you share go into secure storage, so Muse can use them without seeing them. When it pays, Link by Stripe creates a one-time card number, and your real card details stay hidden.

A second agent, Sentinel, guards what Muse sends out

Muse's actions reach the internet only with Sentinel's approval.

Meta Newsroom · “Introducing Muse” · Sept 8, 2026

Muse runs on its own computer in the cloud. A separate agent called Sentinel runs beside it, and Muse's actions reach the internet only if Sentinel approves. Sentinel asks you when it needs to.

Your Muse chats stay out of Meta's ad systems

Your Muse chats stay out of Meta's ad systems

Sites Muse visits for you can still show you ads later.

Meta · “How We Built Safety Into Muse” · security.muse.ai

Muse doesn't share your conversations or its data with Meta's ad systems. But sites Muse visits count as your visits, so a store it shops at could later show you an Instagram ad.

One switch keeps your chats out of AI training

By default, conversations help train Meta's models.

Meta · “How We Built Safety Into Muse” · security.muse.ai

By default, your conversations with Muse help train Meta's AI models, with key personal details removed first. If you'd rather they didn't, a single switch in Muse settings turns that off.

Later this year, a locked mode even Meta can't open

Later this year, a locked mode even Meta can't open

Muse Confidential VM encrypts your data with a key only you hold.

Meta · “How We Built Safety Into Muse” · security.muse.ai

Today, Meta limits staff access to your Muse data, but can still reach it to support or secure the service. Later this year, Muse Confidential VM will encrypt it with a key only you hold.
