Meta's Muse AI assistant lands on Mac, taking control of native apps

meta's new ai assistant app, muse, is now available on mac, allowing users to interact with files, messages, calendar, notes, and mail within their native applications. users can control what muse has access to on an opt-in basis and must approve sensitive actions. this release follows the launch of muse on mobile and web earlier this month and comes amid intensifying competition in the consumer-facing ai agent space. other ai agents, such as poke and instinct, have also gained traction, with instinct reportedly raising funds at a $10 billion valuation. meta's rapid deployment of new features, including voice calling, aims to capture consumer market share in this emerging space.
