Meta Muse Guide

Muse is Meta’s personal AI agent. Meta launched it in the US on September 8, 2026, on iOS, Android, and the web. It runs on Muse Spark, Meta’s model built for agentic work.

Unlike a typical chatbot, it can:

• Link to your email and calendar
• Work inside its own cloud browser
• Complete multi-step tasks across sites and apps
• Draft and send messages once you approve
• Shop and book with connected partners
• Plan longer-term goals alongside you

Muse takes actions, not just questions. That is why it needs firm limits.

Free

A free usage limit that refreshes weekly

Power

$20 a month, roughly 500 million tokens a week

Maximum

$100 a month, roughly 3 billion tokens a week

Long, multi-step tasks burn far more tokens than chat. Plans and availability can change, so check the current details in the app.

Secure VM

A dedicated cloud computer with its own browser, which holds your agent and its connected sign-ins. Meta says every user gets a separate virtual machine.

Sentinel

A separate agent, isolated from your Muse, that clears connector actions and network access before they run and checks with you on sensitive ones.

Live view

You can watch the browser while Muse is working.

Approvals protect you only if you read them before tapping yes.

• Pick its name, avatar, and communication style
• Tell it who you are and where you want help
• Set preferences for budget limits, brands, times, and tone
• Connect only the accounts a task requires
• Check your privacy settings before the first task

Begin with one low-risk task, like planning a week of meals, before you trust it with anything that involves money.

Muse connects to email and calendar, plus partners that include:

• Payments: Stripe, Shop Pay, and PayPal
• Shopping: Shopify stores, Best Buy, Gap, Sephora, Walmart, and Wayfair
• Travel and groceries: Expedia and Instacart
• Work: GitHub, Granola, and Notion

Each connection expands what Muse can see and do. Connect for a reason, and disconnect what you no longer use.

Ask it to:

• Compare products and prices
• Fill a grocery basket from your meal plan
• Find and hold restaurant or travel picks
• Track deliveries and returns
• Complete routine forms
• Remind you about renewals and deadlines

Ask for options first, then approve the final purchase or booking on your own.

• Sort unread email by priority
• Draft replies in your own tone
• Find workable times and propose meetings
• Convert email requests into tasks
• Prepare your daily agenda

Let Muse draft. Send only what you have read yourself.

Give Muse a goal plus constraints:

• A trip with dates, a budget, and must-sees
• A study or fitness plan with time limits
• A move or event with deadlines and a checklist
• A savings target split into spending categories

Ask it to split the goal into weekly steps and check in on your progress.

On September 29, 2026, Meta launched Muse for Small Business, free with usage limits and with paid plans for more. It can connect to:

• Instagram professional account insights
• Facebook Pages and Meta ad accounts
• Shopify, Stripe, and Intuit QuickBooks
• Slack, Asana, Notion, Dropbox, and Box
• Canva, Figma, Klaviyo, HighLevel, Lovable, Granola, and Zoom

Use it to answer common customer questions, draft posts in your brand voice, summarize sales, and shape campaign ideas. Approve anything public or financial yourself.

Meta announced these at Meta Connect on September 23, 2026:

• Real-time video chats with a Muse avatar
• Muse operating apps on a Mac
• A dedicated email address for forwarded threads
• Muse on Meta’s smart glasses, with a wake word

Meta announced some of these for the coming months. Check what is live in your app.

A strong task spells out:

• The goal
• The budget or limits
• Your preferences
• The accounts it may use
• What it must ask about first
• What done looks like

Find three hotels in Lisbon for October 20 to 23, under $180 a night, close to public transport, with free cancellation. Do not book. Show me the options with links and the total cost.

• Turn off training on your chats if you prefer: Meta uses them by default
• Never paste passwords or one-time codes into chat
• Limit health, legal, and financial details to what a task needs
• Review connected accounts once a month
• Delete conversations you do not need

• Some sites block AI agents, so a task may not finish on every site.
• Prices and availability can shift between search and checkout
• Agents can misread web pages and forms
• Long tasks drain your weekly limit fast
• Muse can make mistakes, so double-check important results

• “Summarize my unread email and draft replies to the three most urgent messages.”
• “Plan this week’s dinners under $80 and fill an Instacart basket. Do not check out.”
• “Find a slot next week for a 30-minute call with Sam and draft the invite.”
• “Compare these three laptops on price, battery life, and weight.”
• “Build a weekly plan to get ready for my driving test in six weeks.”
• “List my subscriptions from email receipts with their renewal dates.”
• “Write three Instagram captions for this product in my brand voice.”
• “Summarize last week’s sales and suggest one thing to test.”
• “Find refundable flights to Chicago for these dates. Hold nothing.”
• “Tell me what you need from me to finish this task.”

Muse handles

Searching, comparing, drafting, scheduling, form filling, tracking, and reminders.

You handle

Approving payments, sending important messages, sharing sensitive data, and making final decisions.

You are my personal assistant for [area of life or business]. My goal: [goal]. My limits: [budget, time, brands, places]. You may use: [connected accounts]. You may not use: [accounts or data]. Work step by step. Show me options before you act. Always ask before you buy, book, send, post, delete, or share personal data. When you are done, summarize what you did, what it cost, and what still needs my decision.
