Overview
What Muse is
Meta introduced Muse in September 2026 as an agent that can keep working after the conversation closes. A person can ask it to plan a project, organize information or complete browser steps, and it returns when progress changes or approval is needed. Meta says each person’s agent runs in a dedicated Muse Secure VM with a browser and stored connection credentials. This is more persistent than an ordinary question-and-answer chat, but it also means access choices matter: the agent can see and act on connected accounts within the permissions granted.
The launch describes approval before sensitive actions such as sending an email or making a purchase, an audit trail and controls to disconnect services or delete remembered details. Those are product claims rather than an independent security assessment. Muse began rolling out on iOS, Android and muse.ai in the United States, with Meta later describing availability in Canada for small-business users. Access, supported integrations and subscription limits can vary by account and region.
Use cases
Who Muse is best for
The strongest fit depends on the job you need the product to complete, not the size of its feature list.
People coordinating long projects
Let Muse maintain context and return with progress or questions rather than restarting a chat each time.
Small-business owners
Evaluate connected app work with explicit limits on what can be read, sent, published or spent.
Capabilities
Core Muse features
Persistent Secure VM
Meta says a dedicated cloud virtual machine hosts the agent, browser and account data.
Browser action
Muse can navigate websites and fill forms to carry out authorized tasks.
Memory and proactive updates
It can remember supplied preferences and continue a longer goal between conversations.
App permissions
Users choose connections and can limit capabilities such as read versus send access.
Sensitive-action approval
The launch says email sending and purchases require user approval, with an activity trail.
Process
How the Muse workflow works
Step 1
Define a bounded task
Describe the desired result, budget, deadline and point at which Muse should stop for review.
Step 2
Grant only needed access
Connect the few accounts required, inspect read/write scope, and avoid unnecessary sensitive data.
Step 3
Review proposed actions
Check recipient, amount, destination and source information before approving sends or purchases.
Step 4
Audit the result
Inspect the activity trail and actual outcome, then revoke connections no longer needed.
Cost
Muse pricing and free plan
Meta says Muse is free for most ordinary use and offers subscriptions for greater use, but the introductory announcement does not publish a Muse-specific price or complete allowance table. Do not confuse Meta One social-app bundles with confirmed Muse agent entitlements.

Assessment
Muse strengths and limitations
Where it stands out
- Long-running tasks and proactive updates address work that does not fit one chat reply.
- User-facing connection controls and action approvals are documented.
- Messaging and app entry points reduce the need to learn a developer interface.
What to consider
- The rollout is new, and region, feature and subscription availability can differ.
- Agent access to personal services increases the consequence of a mistaken action.
- Meta’s security description has not been independently tested for this review.

Muse FAQs
Is Muse just a chatbot?
No. Meta describes a persistent agent that can use a browser and connected apps and continue tasks after the app closes.
Can Muse buy something without asking?
Meta says sensitive actions including purchases and sending email require approval; inspect the proposed transaction carefully before approving.
Is Muse free?
Meta says most ordinary use is free and that subscription plans are available for more. The launch post does not establish a fixed Muse-specific subscription price.
Where is it available?
The initial launch says Muse was rolling out in the United States on mobile and web; check account eligibility for current geography and platform support.
Bottom line
Our Muse verdict
Muse is most promising for a person willing to delegate multi-step tasks and actively review permissions and approvals. Start with a low-stakes project, verify every external action, and expand access only after its behavior is predictable for your needs.
