Meta made a new AI helper.
It is called Muse.
It came out on Tuesday.
It is for people who are 18 or older.
It helps with daily jobs like schedules and shopping.
Meta says Muse can also make big goals into steps.
Now, Muse works only in the U.S.
Meta talks about Muse's safety and privacy.
The agent runs on a special safe computer.
This computer holds the agent and the user's data.
People can message Muse in a separate app.
They can also use WhatsApp.
Muse can do simple jobs like sending an email.
It can book travel.
It can also do big goals like a one-year exercise plan.
Meta says when a person shares a goal, Muse helps make a plan.
The plan is for that person.
Muse also sets time and resources.
It can open a browser.
It can fill out forms.
It can talk for the user.
Tech companies think AI agents are the next step.
Chatbots only answer questions.
They find information.
An AI agent can do jobs without step-by-step instructions.
It handles a whole process alone.
For Meta, Muse fits CEO Mark Zuckerberg's idea.
He wants AI superintelligence for "everyone."
In a new essay, he said everyone will have a personal agent.
This agent works all day and night.
It helps with relationships, health, career, and more.
He said it will free up time.
It will help people do more.
The open question is if people will use it.
