Meta announced updates to its Muse AI agent that grant the software a personal email address, desktop control, and video calling capabilities. The new email function allows users to send and receive messages directly through the agent, enabling it to manage tasks independently without manual intervention. Simultaneously, the Muse Mac application will receive permissions to operate the host computer, letting the agent execute commands on the user’s hardware. Most notably, the chat interface will expand to include live video calls, moving beyond text-only interaction to a more direct visual communication method.
These changes shift Muse from a passive conversational tool to an active digital assistant capable of handling specific workflows and maintaining identity across platforms. Giving the agent an email address establishes a persistent digital identity, while desktop access transforms it into a practical utility for managing local files or running applications. The addition of video chat addresses the limitations of text-based AI, offering a more natural interaction style for complex or personal exchanges.
* Muse agents now possess unique email addresses for task management.
* The Mac app gains permission to control the host computer.
* Users can initiate live video calls with their AI agent.
