What to know
- Meta's Muse AI agent app launched in early September and immediately became Apple App Store's #1 free download, surpassing ChatGPT.
- Muse is an agentic AI that autonomously handles real-world tasks—sending emails, booking travel, filling forms, negotiating—across connected apps like email, calendar, and payments.
- The rise signals a consumer shift from conversational chatbots to AI agents that proactively manage tasks and remember user preferences.
“Once a user shares a goal with Muse, it helps them develop a personalized plan and coordinate their time and resources, while advancing the work on its own – opening browsers, filling out forms, and even negotiating on the user's behalf.”
