Meta’s new agent doesn’t stop when you close the app. That’s the pitch, in Meta’s own words: Muse “keeps working after people close the app.” Meta announced it on September 8: a personal agent that opens its own browser, fills out forms, sends email, books travel and buys things, and that Meta describes as turning long-term goals into action plans instead of answering one question at a time. It’s rolling out in the U.S. on iOS, Android and muse.ai, in its own app or straight inside WhatsApp, with AI glasses promised for later.
One guardrail, stated plainly: Muse checks with you before sensitive actions like sending an email or making a purchase.
What’s new isn’t the chat. It’s the persistence. You can hand this thing a long-term goal, find me a place, compare it over time, act when the moment comes, and it keeps the goal alive while you do something else. What we couldn’t find on the announcement is how it stores your credentials, or for how long.
