TL;DR

  • Meta’s agent AI, Muse, is reported to be in closed testing.
  • The company will use a waitlist and invitation codes to gradually onboard users to the app.
  • Muse will be able to solve problems, manage email and track expenses in users’ bank accounts.

Meta has been continuously releasing updates to its artificial intelligence services in recent months. The company decided to challenge Gemini with Muse Spark and also released a local AI model last month. Now it seems that Meta is a step towards an AI agent that will take over the routine work of users.

According to a report from Testing directoryThe Meta Muse AI agent has finally left internal testing and is in limited closed alpha. The exact phase of testing remains unclear, as a report later states that the agent is in closed beta testing. However, Meta will apparently ask users to join a waitlist or enter an invitation code before granting them access to Muse.

The publication also found a listing in the App Store for the “Muse from Meta” application, which contains screenshots and a fairly detailed description of the application and its functions. Meta is trying to make Muse an agent-based AI assistant that can do almost anything on a user’s device. Screenshots from the App Store listing show features such as proactive actions, approving users before sending a message or spending money, and tracking ticket prices and reservations.

Muse can also support multiple connectors, including popular ones like Gmail, Google Calendar, health apps like Peloton and HealthEx, and more. The agent will also be able to contact users’ card providers and bank accounts, track spending, and even offer to cancel unused subscriptions to save money. This is a scary proposition. However, it’s also possible that Muse will simply use bank and card statements obtained through users’ email accounts to track expenses.

Meta’s Muse AI agent certainly looks like it could be equipped with enough skills and features to get the job done. However, Meta’s track record for protecting user privacy is underwhelming, to say the least. It will be interesting to see whether the company’s agent AI will gain widespread adoption once it is introduced to the public.
