Although Meta already presented its AI agent in the summer, several possibilities were revealed at the recent Connect 2026 event.
Coined Muse, Meta’s artificial intelligence agent, promises to “take your stuff” and do just about anything: create shopping lists based on emails, draft replies, and even order deliveries on your behalf.
But how does Muse actually work and how do you access the tool? What security measures are in place to ensure the safe use of Muse?
Below, we explain everything we know about Muse. For more on Meta’s Connect event, head over to my first impressions of the Ray Ban Meta Glasses 3, while I also gave my two cents on Meta’s audio-only glasses.
Muse is Meta’s new AI-based agent designed to interact with you more naturally than other chatbots. Located in its own dedicated app on WhatsApp, Mac desktops and web browsers, Muse can answer questions, book, complete tasks, generate images or documents, and even make purchases on your behalf.
Overtime, Muse gets to know you and help you with your daily and long-term tasks. This means you can ask Muse to set a timer or guide you through a workout plan.
You can also connect Muse to compatible third-party applications using Connectors, which allow you to unlock different capabilities of the agent. For example, Meta announced at its 2026 Connect event that new brands will be able to connect with Muse, including Walmart, Sephora, and PayPal, while travel sites like Expedia are coming soon.
Meta explains that because it’s an agent AI, Muse can figure out what skills to use when performing a task. This means you’ll know when to browse the web or look for information from other sources, such as your calendar or messages.
Otherwise, you can have long, in-depth conversations with Muse and customize your voice to sound slower or faster. Muse can even have its own email address to use to get things done. It really is designed as if you have your own personal assistant.
Muse is available for free, but there is a usage limit that is updated weekly. At the time of writing, Meta did not say what that limit actually is.
If you exceed the limit, you can choose to upgrade to a paid subscription that unlocks more Muse tokens per week. There are currently two plans to choose from, the cheapest being the Power plan which costs $20 per month and unlocks 500 million Muse tokens per week.
Next is the Max plan for $100 per month and provides 3B Muse tokens every week.
At the time of writing, Muse is currently unavailable in the UK.
Meta also introduced the Muse Charm at Connect, which resembles an old-fashioned Tamagotchi.
While details are sparse for now, with Meta saying it will share more later this year, it’s essentially a pocket-sized device with Muse built into it. Whether it will function as a virtual pet to take care of remains to be seen.
