Summary
Muse runs in a dedicated Secure VM and can continue working after the user closes the app, while a separate Sentinel system controls internet access and sensitive actions. Meta says the agent is available through its own app and WhatsApp, with approval steps for actions such as sending emails and making purchases.
Why it matters
Muse brings background, tool-using agents into a mainstream consumer distribution channel. Its usefulness will depend on whether Meta can make permissions, audit trails and error recovery trustworthy enough for actions involving money and personal data.
