Meta made its Muse assistant available on Mac computers.
This follows earlier releases for mobile phones and the web. The app works within your existing applications like Mail or Notes. You can control exactly what information the AI sees.
Permissions and Safety
The system asks for permission before doing anything sensitive. Meta states the app will always request approval first. Users must opt in to let the agent access their data.
Market Competition
Consumer AI agents are competing heavily for market share. Major players like Instinct are raising billions in funding. Both Muse and Instinct launched voice calling features recently.
