Meta has introduced Muse, an AI agent designed to handle tasks across work and personal life while users focus on other things. The assistant runs workout analyses, schedules meetings, completes grocery orders, and tracks sales numbers - operating in the background through a dedicated app, desktop software, or WhatsApp. For professionals juggling multiple responsibilities, the pitch is straightforward: offload the repetitive work to an agent that learns your goals and acts on them.
How Muse handles the work
Muse uses a persistent, isolated Linux environment called Muse Secure VM. It comes with a full browser that both the user and the agent can access, letting you step in at any point during a task. The system stores logins in a secure credential store the agent cannot read, and 1Password integration is planned. For purchases, Muse generates a one-time card number at checkout so merchants never see your actual payment details. Eligible transactions fall under Link's purchase protections - a first for AI agents, Meta said.
Conversations with Muse are not shared with Meta's ad systems. Users review and approve critical actions before they execute, such as sending emails or completing purchases. A complete audit trail shows everything the agent has done and what it plans to do next.
Task automation and tool building
Muse connects to email, calendar, Instagram, and other daily-use apps. When a task requires a tool that does not exist, the agent builds one. Give it a goal and it constructs an action plan, tracks progress, and proactively removes items from your to-do list. Over time, it learns preferences and surfaces suggestions aligned with what you need, ready to act under your direction.
Meta frames the interaction as conversational. Users message Muse the same way they text a colleague - through the mobile app, the Mac desktop client, or directly in WhatsApp. The desktop version works with local files, applications, and browser tabs.
Early creator adopters
Several public figures are already using customized versions of Muse. Real estate broker Ryan Serhant named his agent Pumpkin. Model Ashley Graham uses Lux to organize her schedule. Singer Teyana Taylor works with AunTEY for problem-solving, and Peloton instructor Ally Love relies on Mango to manage business tasks.
Meta also highlighted use cases ranging from calendar management and smarter shopping to health tracking and budgeting. The company positions Muse as a single agent spanning professional and personal domains, rather than a narrow task-specific tool.
Why this matters for sales, operations, and executive roles
For professionals in sales, operations, management, and executive strategy, Muse's isolated browser environment addresses a common friction point with AI agents: security. The one-time card generation and credential isolation reduce exposure risk when delegating purchasing or scheduling tasks. The audit trail and approval gates give managers visibility into automated actions without requiring constant oversight. The agent's ability to build missing tools also means teams do not need to wait for vendor integrations - a practical advantage in fast-moving operational environments where workflows shift frequently.
