Meta officially announced the Muse Spark 1.1 update for its AI assistant, marking a shift from one-off Q&A to executing persistent, cross-app tasks.
Key New Features:
- Connects with email and calendar apps.
- Conducts web research and generates slide decks.
- Delivers recurring outputs such as daily briefings or weekly plans.
- Allows users to redirect its work while a report or presentation is being generated.
The rollout has begun in select markets via the Meta AI app and meta.ai, with expansion to more countries and WhatsApp planned. This shift elevates the importance of permission controls, audit trails, and error recovery.
