Meta launches Muse, an agent that books travel and buys through Link by Stripe
Meta's new US personal AI agent connects to email, calendar, payments, health, and smart-home apps to send emails, book travel, and check out via Link by Stripe, running on web, iOS, Android, and WhatsApp — free, with $20 Power and $100 Maximum tiers. Meta says Muse executes inside a dedicated secure VM with its own browser, watched by a system-isolated Sentinel agent, and that its data never reaches Meta's ads systems; those claims land two weeks after an $18B multistate settlement and await scrutiny from security researchers.
