Meta launched Muse AI on September 8 to handle personal tasks for users. The app acts as a digital assistant that manages calls, emails, and bookings.
It quickly rose to the top of Apple’s App Store. Meta’s stock also jumped more than 11 percent on September 21. This financial shift followed a positive report from Wells Fargo.
Users save time on tedious tasks
People are using Muse to handle frustrating administrative work. One investor recovered a $250 credit after a seven-hour flight delay. The app filed the claim and rebooked the trip automatically.
Another user asked the app to call Southwest Airlines. Muse waited on hold until a human representative was available. It then called the user back, saving them the wait.
Security risks require careful consideration
Mashable notes that all AI agents carry security risks. Users must be thoughtful before connecting sensitive accounts. Granting control over financial data demands caution.
The app requires users to link their personal services. This connection allows Muse to act on their behalf. However, it also exposes private information to potential threats.
Community guides share practical prompts
Online communities are collecting examples of successful uses. A directory called Use of Muse lists these shared tasks. It links back to original user posts.
Other resources offer sample prompts for specific jobs. These guides help users start with simple requests. They encourage testing the app with low-stakes tasks first.
