Meta unveiled Muse, a personal AI agent powered by Muse Spark 1.3 that performs tasks on users' behalf. The service offers a free tier with 100M tokens per week, plus $20 and $100 monthly subscription options.

Muse runs on a dedicated virtual machine in Meta's cloud infrastructure and is initially available in the US. The agent represents Meta's push toward personalized AI assistants, aligning with CEO Mark Zuckerberg's vision for the technology. The platform will integrate with Meta's AI glasses in the coming months, expanding its utility beyond standard computing devices. Muse Spark 1.3, the model powering the agent, handles the AI reasoning and decision-making required for task completion. The freemium pricing structure follows industry trends, with heavy users able to upgrade to higher token allocations through paid tiers. This positions Muse as a competitor to other personal AI agents entering the market. Meta's approach emphasizes accessibility through the generous free tier while providing monetization pathways for power users and enterprise applications.
