Meta Launches Personal AI Agent Muse with Monthly Fee Up to $100

According to a report by Jinse Finance, on September 9, Meta Platforms (META.O) launched a personal AI agent application called Muse, allowing users to delegate digital tasks such as scheduling appointments, filling out electronic forms, and monitoring home cameras to the AI assistant. Meta's Head of AI, Alexander Wang, stated that Muse is powered by Meta's Muse Spark series foundational models and offers a free version as well as subscription plans priced at $20 and $100 per month. He emphasized that Muse operates within an isolated environment on Meta's computing infrastructure, does not access users' actual passwords or payment information, and will request confirmation before performing sensitive operations. Users can choose whether to allow Meta to use their interactions with Muse to train AI models. If permitted, Meta will remove key personal identifiable information before using the data for model improvement. This product launch comes as Meta faces challenges related to AI safety, privacy concerns, and pressure to deliver returns on AI investments. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg previously stated that personal AI agents will be a key direction for the company's future products and revenue growth. Meta also mentioned that it is exploring business models related to shopping transactions with AI agents in the future.
