Meta launches Muse, a personal AI agent designed to help users complete everyday tasks. Multiple outlets describe Muse as an autonomous assistant that can carry out activities such as sending emails and booking travel, with some functions available through a dedicated app and within WhatsApp. NDTV reports Muse can continue working without constant user input and can use prior conversations to inform future actions.

The launch is also drawing scrutiny around how user data is handled. Global News highlights growing privacy fears raised by experts. Business Insider says it tested Muse with access to multiple categories of user data, including email and credit cards, and also mentions Apple Health data access during its trial. Times of India adds that Meta makes security-related “promises.” Fortune frames the reaction as heated backlash, while other coverage notes the timing of the rollout.

Overall coverage converges on Muse’s task-oriented capabilities and initial availability in the US, but differs in emphasis: some outlets focus on features and integrations, while others foreground privacy and backlash following the introduction.
