Muse from Meta

Muse is Meta’s personal AI agent for completing tasks across the web and connected services. It combines conversational instructions, persistent memory, and background work with a cloud computer the user can supervise. Its developer relevance comes from tool creation, interactive outputs, and a connector platform for bringing external services into the agent.

What It Is

Muse runs on Muse Secure VM, a persistent, isolated Linux computer with a browser. Users give it goals or individual tasks, review its activity, and intervene when needed. It can continue working after the app closes, respond to relevant events, and follow schedules. The product is available through the web, mobile apps, a Mac app, and WhatsApp, subject to rollout and account eligibility.

Custom Tools and Interactive Artifacts

Meta’s product-design documentation describes a filesystem and terminal that Muse uses to write code and create tools for a task. Outputs can include documents, PDFs, web pages, trackers, and interactive dashboards. This makes Muse relevant to developers exploring small utilities or bespoke interfaces through conversation. Its main chat retains context over time, while side chats provide separate spaces for other topics. Muse Code is the separate terminal coding agent for repository work.

Building Connectors for Muse

The Muse Connector Platform lets developers submit services for review and discovery inside Muse. Submissions include API or MCP documentation, authentication details, tool permissions, and a test account. Approved connectors can expose information and actions that improve on ordinary browser access. Meta reviews security, tool behavior, and complete workflows before approval; acceptance does not guarantee featured placement.

Permissions and Desktop Access

Connector tools distinguish reads, writes, and sensitive writes. Sensitive writes require approval on every use; users can revoke permissions. The Mac app works with desktop files, apps, and browser tabs with permission. Activity logs and editable memory help users inspect the agent’s work and retained context. Meta states that Muse conversations are not shared with its advertising systems.
