Meta launches Muse for Mac, a desktop personal agent that works across files, calendar and messages

On September 18, Meta AI's official account and Alexandr Wang announced the launch of Muse for Mac, the personal agent, rolling out from that day and—per reposted posts—currently limited to US users. This desktop agent can perform tasks directly on the user's computer; official use cases include organizing the Downloads folder, recovering lost files, summarizing messages and notes, and manipulating calendars across apps.
