Meta officially launches Muse, a personal AI agent for everyone

Your move: Live now in the US, on the app store and at muse.ai

Meta officially launched Muse on September 8, 2026, confirming the product that had been leaking for weeks under the code name "Hatch." Meta's chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, announced the rollout directly. Muse is an always-on personal AI agent that runs on a dedicated, secure virtual machine in Meta's cloud, with a built-in browser you can watch working. It connects to apps like email, calendar, and payments to handle tasks such as shopping, booking appointments, and filling out forms. It asks for your approval before sensitive actions like sending a message or spending money, and you control what it can see and access. It's free to start, with paid tiers at $20 and $100 a month. The rollout begins in the US, through the app store or at muse.ai, with more countries to follow.

Why it matters

This is Meta's real entry into the personal AI agent market, going head-to-head with tools like OpenClaw, Instinct, and Gemini Spark. If you were waiting to see whether the leaked "Hatch" plans were real, they are: try it if you want an agent tied into WhatsApp and Meta's ecosystem, and check the pricing and privacy controls before connecting sensitive accounts.
