Meet Muse: A Personal Executive Assistant From Meta
Meta Muse: Your Personal AI Executive Assistant 9 minFree
The problem
You've heard Meta launched an AI agent called Muse. You don't know if it's another chatbot or something that can really take work off your plate.
You'll be able to
You'll be able to explain, in one sentence, how Muse is different from a chatbot, and name three jobs an executive assistant would do that Muse can help with.
Why this matters
A chatbot answers questions. An executive assistant gets things done: tracks your day, chases follow-ups, books things, and checks with you before anything big. Muse is built to work like the second one. Jasmine runs a small online shop. She doesn't need more answers. She needs someone to remember the supplier follow-up, prep her for Tuesday's call, and find a cheaper shipping plan. That's the job Muse is aiming at.
Step by step
- 1
Know what Muse is
Muse is a personal AI agent from Meta. Meta describes it as "your personal AI agent that gets things done," for goals and everyday tasks like finances, shopping and relationships.
- 2
It has its own computer
Muse works on a private cloud computer (Meta calls it the Muse Secure VM) with a full web browser. It can open websites, fill out forms, write files and even build small tools for a task. You can watch and step in at any time.
- 3
It keeps working when you leave
You can close the app and Muse keeps going on long tasks, on a schedule, or when something changes. It messages you when it has something new or needs your OK.
- 4
It remembers and plans
Muse keeps memory across chats, tracks goals in a Goals tab, and suggests ideas. That's what makes it feel like an assistant who knows you, not a blank chat box.
- 5
It asks before big moves
Sending an email or buying something can need your approval first. You choose how cautious it is.
Prompt to copy
Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste it into your AI tool.
Act as my executive assistant planner. I run a [TYPE OF BUSINESS] with [NUMBER] people. List the 5 tasks that eat my week that an AI assistant could prepare for me (draft, research, remind, organize) without sending or buying anything on its own. For each, say what it would need access to and what I should still approve.
