I tried Meta’s new Muse AI agent — it’s incredibly useful, but handing it my digital life felt deeply uncomfortable

Meta has introduced Muse, a personal AI agent designed to perform online tasks on behalf of users, such as shopping, managing emails, and filling out forms. Available in the U.S. via app, WhatsApp, or a web portal, Muse operates by navigating a cloud-based virtual browser to execute commands independently. While the tool demonstrates impressive efficiency in handling routine errands, it requires users to grant access to sensitive accounts and personal correspondence. Meta has implemented security measures, such as secure credential storage and filters for sensitive links, to mitigate risks. However, the experience of delegating personal digital interactions to an AI raises significant privacy and comfort concerns. The platform offers a free tier alongside paid subscription options, marking a shift toward autonomous AI agents that act as personal assistants in the user's digital environment.
