Meta bets on AI agent Muse to catch up in AI race

Meta unveiled Muse, a personal AI agent that can handle everyday tasks such as online shopping, email composition, and trip planning, and is capable of autonomously opening browsers, completing forms, and negotiating on a user’s behalf. The launch is a key element of Meta’s multi-billion-dollar AI overhaul aimed at narrowing the gap with rivals including OpenAI, Anthropic and Google.
