Meta launches Muse AI agent with app and WhatsApp access
Meta rolled out Muse, an AI assistant that can autonomously send emails, sell a car and book travel, available initially only in the US via a Muse app and WhatsApp. Modeled on OpenClaw, Muse is designed to connect to email, calendar, payments, health, shopping and smart-home apps when users grant access, and each agent runs in its own cloud virtual machine to continue tasks in the background. Internal testing reported successful itinerary and booking help but also reliability failures, repeated logouts and incidents that exposed personal iCloud photos, raising immediate safety and privacy concerns.
