Meta Unveils New AI Agent That Will Act on Behalf of Users — Bloomberg
Meta Platforms Inc. has introduced Muse, a new AI-powered agent that can perform tasks on behalf of the user.
Meta noted that Muse can help automate a variety of tasks; for example, the agent can make online purchases, buy movie tickets, schedule meetings, sign up for classes, or even fill out a permission slip for a school field trip.
“Muse always checks with you before taking any sensitive or important actions,” said Alexander Wang, Meta’s Chief AI Officer.
The personal AI agent runs on a separate cloud server. Muse can keep track of completed and planned actions without sharing data with Meta’s advertising system and by limiting the collection of information. For example, if a user instructs Muse to select and purchase furniture for a new home, the agent will ask for permission each time before making a purchase. However, in less sensitive matters, Muse can act autonomously.
Muse users can give their agent a name and an avatar, as well as customize how it communicates. Afterward, the agent can connect to apps—including email and fitness trackers—and continue working toward the goals users have set in the background, even after they’ve closed the app.
Muse is powered by Meta’s latest artificial intelligence model—Muse Spark 1.3—and integrates with the company’s other services, including Instagram and WhatsApp.
The agent also has access to Ticketmaster, OpenTable, and a range of Google services, including Gmail, Google Calendar, and Drive.
Muse will be available to users aged 18 and older. The service will initially launch in the U.S. for iOS and Android, as well as via the muse.ai website and WhatsApp. Eventually, it is planned to be integrated into Meta’s AI-powered smart glasses.
Meta offers both free and paid versions of Muse. Paid plans cost $20 or $100 per month and provide access to greater computing power.
