Hands-on with Muse, Meta's first personal agent
An early tester says Muse proactively handles tasks and performs best at shopping and local recommendations, though it is not yet his daily driver.
Meta is launching its first personal agent – Muse – which is designed to proactively work on your behalf to help you achieve your goals and complete your tasks end-to-end. This isn’t sponsored, but I have had early access and I wanted to cover it since billions of people will soon have access. I also think this is Meta’s biggest launch of the year. One of the hottest categories in tech right now is AI assistants. But none, I would argue, have true product market fit. For a personal AI agent to truly be useful, it needs a great amount of context, access and data. Meta has a real advantage here through their social graph and family of apps. One thing I am happy to see is Meta putting a lot of emphasis on privacy. I encourage you to read about the safeguards @finkd and team have put in place. For me — I don't know that it becomes my ‘daily driver’ personal agent quite yet. But for online shopping and local recommendations specifically, Muse Spark 1.3 has been my go-to. Let me know if you have any questions on my experience with @Muse.
