Meta's Muse AI agent faces skepticism over real-world usefulness

Meta has launched Muse, a personal AI agent designed to manage both home and work tasks, but critics question whether its ambitious promises align with real-world needs. The tool offers features like calendar management, email drafting, and long-term goal planning, operating autonomously even when the app is closed. Meta emphasizes built-in privacy and security, though it acknowledges Muse will still make mistakes. The launch reflects Meta's push to make AI accessible to its broad user base, but skeptics argue such tools are often designed by those disconnected from everyday work realities, raising concerns about over-promising and data security.
