Meta launches Muse, a personal AI agent that handles email and travel
Meta
Meta introduced Muse, its personal AI agent, on Sept 8 — it can send email, book travel and act on the user's behalf across Meta services. The launch drew heavy attention (639 points, 700+ comments on Hacker News) plus a branding collision: the band Muse lost its social media handles to the product. Follows the safety architecture disclosure Meta published the same week.
Why it matters
