π° What Happened
Meta has launched its Muse AI assistant as a dedicated iPad app. The move comes just one month after Muse arrived on iPhone and Android. Since its September 8 launch, Muse has passed 6.6 million installs, according to Sensor Tower. Muse can connect to users' accounts to manage email, meetings and bills, and to do tasks like booking and shopping.
π The Backstory
Muse is one of many new consumer AI agents from big tech firms. Meta has added partner apps, called connectors, that users can switch on or off. The iPad release adds tools like Asana, Canva, Dropbox and Zoom. By contrast, the photo app Instagram took about 15 years to get its own iPad app. AI agents are a fast-growing market for tech firms.
π― Why It Matters
AI assistants are moving into daily tasks like paying bills and shopping. Users should think about what data they let these apps access.
