Muse Review

Muse (muse.ai) is a personal AI agent from Meta; its terms are an agreement with Meta Platforms, Inc. Instead of only answering questions, you give Muse a goal or an everyday task and it works on it: sorting email, booking reservations, shopping, managing calendars or building a fitness plan, according to its homepage. Each user gets a persistent, isolated Linux computer in the cloud (Meta calls it the Muse Secure VM) with a full browser that you and the agent can share, and Muse can keep working after you close the app. If a task needs a tool that does not exist, Meta says the agent builds one. It also offers reminders and scheduled tasks, memory you can read, edit or delete, and skills.

Muse connects to other apps through Connectors. Meta's help pages name Facebook, Instagram and Threads (set up automatically through Accounts Center), Gmail and Google, and Apple Health and Android SMS (managed in device settings), plus custom connectors you can ask Muse to add. By default Muse does not send an email or take other important actions without approval, it "does not make purchases or move money without your explicit approval", and a separate agent called Sentinel reviews every interaction with the outside world. You use it through the Muse app on mobile and desktop, at muse.ai, by message on WhatsApp, or in voice mode (voice only in some countries). It requires a Meta account and is for adults 18 and over; the Muse for Business page says it is available in the US and Canada.

Maximum gives 6 times Power's weekly tokens (3B / 500M) for 5 times the price ($100 / $20), so it is about 17% cheaper per token. Meta says the other benefits of each plan are shown during onboarding before you subscribe. Subscriptions renew monthly on the same date until canceled, and you can cancel any time. When you hit a limit you can upgrade, wait for it to refresh, or buy additional Muse tokens in Settings; extra tokens do not require a subscription and do not expire until used, but Meta's help page does not list their prices. Meta also says Muse and Muse subscriptions are "in limited testing and aren't available in all locations yet", and its terms reserve the right to start charging for or change free access.

Prices checked on the vendor's pricing page on November 10, 2026. See About Muse subscriptions.

What Meta lists on muse.ai and its help center:

Muse suits adults in the US and Canada who already live in Meta's apps and want an agent that can act across email, calendars and shopping with approval gates, and small business owners who want it wired to Shopify, QuickBooks, Stripe and their Meta ad accounts. The free tier is enough to try it. People wary of handing a data-driven ad company access to inboxes and purchases, or who live outside supported countries, may prefer ChatGPT with its agent mode, Manus for work tasks, or Perplexity for research-led browsing.

Launch coverage was mixed. The Next Web called the security design "more considered than the usual launch-day assurances", citing the per-user VM, Sentinel and audit trail, but noted that the confidential VM that would stop Meta itself observing your workspace was not yet available and that the promise to keep conversations away from ads is a policy, not a technical guarantee. AlternativeTo reported a US-first rollout on iOS, Android and the web, and its commenters were skeptical about Meta collecting preference data.
