Meta launches AI agent that can access other apps to send emails, make payments

Meta has launched a new AI assistant called Muse in the United States. Muse can do different tasks for users such as sending emails, booking trips, selling a car, and making payments. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sees Muse as an important step toward his goal of creating what he calls “personal superintelligence.” Meta also hopes this new technology will help the company make money from its big investment in AI. For now, people in the U.S. can use Muse through a separate app and WhatsApp. Meta also plans to add Muse to its smart glasses soon. The basic version of Muse will be free. There will also be two paid plans, costing $20 and $100 per month for people who want more features. Muse can work with different apps like email, calendars, payment apps, health apps, shopping apps, and smart home devices. Users can choose which apps Muse can access and they can remove access anytime.

However, giving AI access to personal information can create privacy and safety problems. Muse can also work in the background using a virtual computer even when the user is not using it. Meta planned to launch Muse earlier, but the company delayed it to make it safer. Vishal Shah, who is the vice president of Meta’s AI products, said they worked to make Muse as safe, secure, and private as possible. Meta has also added a system that checks what Muse is going to do. Sometimes, Muse will ask the user for permission before taking any action. Users can also choose not to have their chats with Muse used to train Meta’s AI. Meta also plans to launch an encrypted version of Muse later this year. Overall, Muse is made to make daily tasks easier by allowing AI to work with different apps. However, because it can access personal information, there are still concerns about privacy, security, and possible mistakes.
