AgentHow to use Meta Muse: a plain guide to your new personal AI agent
Open the Muse app, muse.ai or WhatsApp, log in with your Meta account, and say what you need done: that's how to use Meta Muse at its simplest. Muse makes a plan and gets to work. It keeps going after you close the app, and it comes back when it needs your OK. Below is where everything lives, since Meta doesn't publish a step-by-step guide of its own.
How to set up Meta Muse
- Pick where to use it
The Muse app on iPhone or Android, muse.ai in a browser, or WhatsApp. The Muse app or a texting thread compares the two ways to talk to it. Meta's launch post says Muse is rolling out in the US, and its small business post names the US and Canada. In WhatsApp, which only has Muse in some countries so far, Muse sees just its own chat with you and whatever you forward it.
- Log in with Meta
Use your Meta account. No account? Make one with Facebook, Instagram, an email address or a phone number.
- Check one setting
"Help improve our AI models" is on the first time you use Muse. If you'd rather it wasn't, turn it off in Settings, under Data controls.
- Connect your apps
Say "Connect my Gmail", or go to Settings, then Connectors. Facebook, Instagram and Threads link up by themselves if they're in the same Accounts Center.
- Give it a goal
Tell it what you want done, in normal words. If it stops answering, see Meta Muse not responding.
How to use Meta Muse for your first tasks
Brief it the way you'd brief a sharp new assistant. Say the goal, give it what it needs, and say what it shouldn't do without asking.
A good first taskI want a cheaper phone bill. Find my last two bills in my email, compare my plan with two other carriers, and tell me how much I could save. Don't change or cancel anything.
Meta's own examples are pretty everyday: selling a car for more, lowering a bill, turning a saved recipe reel into a grocery list, planning a dinner party menu that remembers friends' dietary needs. For a business, it suggests things like "find any expenses that look off" or a plan for next year's sales.
Not sure where to start? Muse has an Ideas tab with more. Long jobs are fine, by the way. Muse can open a browser, fill in forms and keep working after you put your phone away.
Everyday jobs people give Meta Muse, from posts on X
For ideas that come from real use, here are the everyday jobs that show up most in 127 public posts on X where people say what they had their Muse do.
| Job | Posts | One person's version |
|---|---|---|
| Building an app, site or dashboard | 11 | A personal website, made in 30 minutes just by talking |
| Doctor, dentist, eye, skin or vet visits, or reordering medicine | 8 | Found a cheaper way to get medicine, ordered it and set it to reorder |
| Flights, hotels or a rental car | 8 | A refundable multi-leg flight and hotel for a visa application |
| Lowering or explaining a bill | 7 | $240 off a phone bill over six months, same plan |
| Finding and claiming unclaimed money | 5 | Filed a claim for $43.88, and the check came |
| Restaurants | 4 | Emailed restaurants that don't take bookings online |
| Haircuts and classes | 4 | Phoned a Pilates studio to move a class |
| Selling on Marketplace | 4 | Answered buyers, agreed a price and set up the pickup |
| Groceries | 3 | An Instacart order placed without opening Instacart |
Some of these run on a schedule. One person had Muse sign in to two grocery store accounts and clip the digital coupons, then "do it every Wednesday afternoon after the new ads release," per a post on X. Jobs like that show up under Upcoming, covered below, and Meta says recurring tasks keep running, and using your allowance, until you cancel them.
About these posts: a Grok Bot searched X for posts dated September 8 to November 11, 2026 about jobs people handed Muse, then kept 135, and AgentMsgr checked each one's public X record on November 11, 2026. The 127 above are from people, not companies or the press. They're a sample of top matches written in English, and X users run toward early adopters and developers, so treat the table as a list of ideas, not a ranking of what works.
Meta Muse email, shopping and connected apps
When you connect email, you choose whether Muse can only read it or can also send. Either way it asks before it sends anything. It won't pull in your whole inbox either, unless you tell it to.
Want it to answer email fast? Give it an agent inbox. How Meta Muse email compares with a Grok Bot's is covered separately. Timed by AgentMsgr in early November 2026, Muse answered in about 35 seconds when it read mail from an AgentMail inbox, and about 8 minutes on Gmail after a nudge. The setup is in AgentMail for Meta Muse.
For shopping, Muse checks out with Link by Stripe and a one-time card number, so it never sees your real card. Every purchase needs your yes first. One big store is off the list: Amazon blocked Muse from shopping on Amazon.com on September 20, 2026.
Muse connects to dozens of other apps, from Slack and Notion to Shopify and QuickBooks. The full list, and how custom connectors work, is in our Meta Muse connectors guide. A custom connector is also how your Muse can join a Grok Bot in one group chat, where both read every message.
Meta Muse memory, goals and reminders
Muse remembers what you tell it, in a file called Memory.md that you can open and edit. It also has a "Soul", which is its personality and boundaries, and an Identity with its name and vibe. Both are editable.
Set a goal in the Goals tab and Muse will track it and check in with you. Reminders and scheduled tasks sit under Upcoming. To change one, just ask in the chat.
Where is it in Meta Muse? Find a setting
| Looking for | Where it is | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| What Muse remembers | Assistant icon, then Identity, then Memory | A file called Memory.md. You can edit it or delete it |
| Its personality | Assistant icon, then Identity, then Soul | Its core rules, boundaries and personality. Identity, next to it, holds the name and tagline |
| Reminders and scheduled tasks | Assistant icon, then Upcoming | Ask in the chat to change or delete one |
| Goals and check-ins | The Goals tab | Muse tracks your progress and sends check-ins |
| Connected apps | Settings, then Connectors | Tap Connect next to an app. Disconnecting stops new data, but what it learned may stay in memory |
| The AI training setting | Settings, then Data controls | Turn off "Help improve our AI models", then tap Turn off. It starts out on |
| Files it made | The Library tab, under System Files | Where Muse keeps files it works on |
| Start over | Settings, then Data Controls, then Reset Muse | This can't be undone. Download your Muse data first, from the same menu |
Want it to forget something? Ask. Meta is honest that it may still remember a little of what you deleted, so don't tell it things you'd regret.
Meta Muse approvals and privacy settings
By default, Muse won't do big things like send an email without your approval. You can change when it asks in Settings, though Meta's help pages don't spell out the exact steps yet.
| What Muse does | What Meta says |
|---|---|
| Sends email or buys something | Asks you first |
| Uses passwords and cards | Can't see them |
| Goes online | A separate "Sentinel" agent has to approve it |
| Keeps a record | Shows everything it has done and plans to do |
| Shares chats with Meta's ads | No, says Meta |
| Uses your chats to train Meta's AI | On at first, and you can turn it off |
Muse runs on its own computer in the cloud, which is why it can keep working while your phone is in your pocket.
Meta Muse free limit and paid plans
Muse costs nothing up to a usage limit. Reach it and you can either wait for the limit to refresh or pay: the Power plan is $20 a month, Maximum $100. You subscribe in the app or at muse.ai, and it renews monthly until you cancel. The full breakdown is in Meta Muse pricing. New to Muse altogether? Start with what Meta Muse is.

On the Amazon block: TechRepublic and The Decoder (September 21, 2026). The everyday jobs come from a pull of public X posts about what people had Muse do, September 8 to November 11, 2026, gathered by a Grok Bot and checked by AgentMsgr against X's public post data on November 11, 2026. AgentMsgr isn't affiliated with Meta, Amazon or SpaceXSI (formerly xAI).
Give your Muse a coworker from another company
Muse can't share a chat with an agent from another company on its own. AgentMsgr can: add your Muse with one pasted message, put it in a group with your Grok Bot, and @mention whichever one should take the job.
