How to Use Meta Muse

What You Need Before You Start

Setup is built around a Meta account and a way to reach the product. Meta Muse has its own iOS, Android, and Mac apps and a web version, separate from Meta AI. WhatsApp is another way to chat with Muse where supported.

• A Meta account for signing in.
• Access to muse.ai, an iOS or Android phone, or a supported Mac.
• A Google account if you want to connect Gmail or Google Calendar.

The business page lists US and Canada, ages 18 and over. The personal agent has also launched in Singapore, according to Meta’s October 27 announcement. Subscriptions and connectors may vary by region and account. Check access at muse.ai.

Five Setup Steps

The setup sequence starts with access and ends with a clear understanding of where tasks run. Add other services as needed, but first review Facebook, Instagram, and Threads: they connect automatically when accounts share an Accounts Center. Review Mac permissions separately.

1. Install the App and Sign In

   Open muse.ai or get the mobile or Mac app from the official Muse download page. Sign in with your Meta account after the app or page loads.

   1. Install the app or open the web product.
   2. Sign in with your existing Meta account.
   3. Complete any account prompts shown during the first session.

   Meta Muse is not the same product as Meta AI. Confirm that you are opening the correct app or web address before you continue.

2. Decide Between the Free Tier and a Paid Plan

   Meta Muse has limited free weekly usage, Power ($20/month, 500M Muse tokens/week), and Maximum ($100/month, 3B/week). If you reach a limit, additional tokens are available; free users can also upgrade or wait for the limit to refresh. Start with the free tier when you are still deciding whether the agent can complete the kinds of tasks you have in mind.

   Compare the official plan and weekly-token table before choosing Power or Maximum. Benefits may vary by region and account.

3. Review Connector Connections

   Gmail and Google Calendar require a connection; add them when needed. Facebook, Instagram, and Threads connect automatically for accounts in the same Accounts Center. Review the requested scope; a connection does not approve every action. You can change permissions or disconnect a service later.

   Review and approve sensitive actions before they happen. Under Meta’s Connector guidelines, sensitive writes require approval each time; other tool permissions can depend on your settings. Grant only the access needed for the task. Our Meta Muse review explains why privacy is the main concern raised in current reporting.

4. Understand Where It Runs

   Cloud browsing runs in Muse Secure VM, a separate virtual machine with enough storage, CPU, and memory for real work. It includes its own browser, and the environment is isolated from your local computer.

   The Mac app adds local access when authorized. Follow the Mac permission checklist below; review both local access and connected-service permissions.

5. Try a Small Set of First Tasks

   Begin with tasks that have a clear result and a limited scope. Give Meta Muse enough detail to understand the target, any constraints, and what a finished task should look like.

   1. Research a webpage: Ask it to open a specific page and collect the details you need, then check the result against the source.
   2. Fill out a form: Supply the exact information for each field and ask it to complete the form on a specified website.
   3. Place a food order: Point it to a restaurant page with the items, quantities, and order details you want, then review and approve the purchase before it is placed.
   4. Send an email: Connect Gmail and give it the recipient, subject, and message requirements, then review the draft and approve sending when prompted.
   5. Align upcoming commitments: Ask it to check calendar events and relevant email, then create a message that summarizes the schedule.

Muse for Mac: Local Files and App Permissions

Muse for Mac can work with local files and apps including Messages (iMessage), Notes, Reminders, Mail, and Calendar. This access is separate from the cloud Secure VM.

• macOS permissions: Full Disk Access covers files; Automation permits app actions; Notifications provides task updates.
• Per-app choices: Off, Read only, or Read and interact.
• Revoke access: Review File System Access in Muse Settings and permissions in macOS System Settings → Privacy & Security.

Review important actions before confirming. See Meta’s Mac access guide.

Business, Meta, Custom, and Device Connectors

Muse for Small Business adds connections to Asana, Box, Canva, Dropbox, Figma, Granola, HighLevel, Intuit QuickBooks, Klaviyo, Lovable, Notion, Shopify, Slack, Stripe, and Zoom. Meta also lists Facebook Pages, Instagram professional account analytics, and Meta ad accounts. These business connections are distinct from the automatic personal-account connections described below.

Facebook, Instagram, and Threads connect automatically when accounts share an Accounts Center. For other services, use Settings → Connectors or ask Muse to connect one.

Custom Connectors can use service API credentials; Meta does not review them. Apple Health and Android SMS access is managed in device settings after setup. Disconnecting a Connector stops further exchange but may leave earlier information in Muse’s history or memories.

Side Chats, Artifacts, and Library

Use side chats to keep a project or topic organized outside the main conversation. In the Chat tab, open the top-left menu and select the pencil-and-notepad icon to start a side chat. Muse stays aware across both the main chat and side chats.

Upload a file or ask Muse to create one. Artifacts can include PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, images, and podcasts. Completed Artifacts are saved to a workspace in the Library tab and shared in the thread; open Library to find the finished result.

Chat with Muse in WhatsApp

Meta also lists WhatsApp as a way to chat with Muse. Check the available setup in your account; this is an entry point to the personal agent, not a Muse Code subscription.

Practical Limits and Permissions

The product's operating model sets several practical boundaries. These limits shape which tasks fit cloud browsing or authorized local Mac access.

• The cloud browser is separate from your device. Local files and apps require the Mac client and the access you authorize.
• Connected tasks need permission. Connectors such as Gmail and Google Calendar require account access. Browser tasks also depend on each website’s requirements.
• It is not a replacement for review. A completed action still needs to be checked, especially when a purchase, email, or form submission has consequences.
• Availability varies. Business eligibility and personal-agent launches differ; confirm region, age requirements, and subscription access in your account.
