Meta debuts its Muse AI agent. Will consumers trust it?
Meta's Muse AI agent is a new personal assistant that can send emails, book travel, make purchases, and more by connecting to users' apps like email, calendar, and payment services. It is powered by Meta's Muse Spark model and available on web, iOS, Android, and WhatsApp. Free and paid plans ($20/month Power, $100/month Maximum) are offered. However, the launch comes shortly after a $18 billion settlement over social media harms, raising questions about consumer trust in Meta handling personal data.
