The assistant, built on Muse Spark, can keep working after you close the app, and it's rolling out to Canada with more countries to follow. Each Muse agent runs in a separate cloud instance called Muse Secure VM, and Meta says it will ask for approval before sending emails or making purchases on your behalf. Zuckerberg also floated the idea of Meta eventually taking a small cut of transactions Muse completes.\n\nThe pitch echoes what other AI labs have promised with their own agents: software that acts instead of just answering. But letting an assistant email people and spend your money on your behalf raises the stakes on every mistake, and Amazon has already shut Muse out of its site entirely - a reminder that retailers, not Meta, decide how far this agent actually gets to roam.\n\nWang's demo of the day, though, was a version of his own dog as an assistant avatar - a reminder that most of this is still personalization skin, not the superintelligence Zuckerberg keeps invoking.","[\"ai assistants\",\"meta\",\"agentic ai\",\"shopping\"]","2026-09-23T23:33:58.000Z","2026-09-24T00:59:03.007Z","2026-09-24T00:59:09.015Z","published",null,[],"ai",[26,27,28,29],"ai assistants","meta","agentic ai","shopping",[31],{"name":32,"url":33},"Mashable","https:\u002F\u002Fmashable.com\u002Ftech\u002Fmeta-connect-2026-muse-ai-assistant",0,{"sections":36},[37,41,46,51,56,61,66,71,76,81,86,91,96,101],{"name":38,"slug":24,"count":39,"latest_published_at":40},"AI",4370,"2026-09-24T04:00:00.000Z",{"name":42,"slug":43,"count":44,"latest_published_at":45},"Security","security",719,"2026-09-24T01:24:00.000Z",{"name":47,"slug":48,"count":49,"latest_published_at":50},"Policy","policy",380,"2026-09-23T22:53:43.000Z",{"name":52,"slug":53,"count":54,"latest_published_at":55},"Deals","deals",220,"2026-09-23T22:00:00.000Z",{"name":57,"slug":58,"count":59,"latest_published_at":60},"Hardware","hardware",173,"2026-09-23T23:42:10.000Z",{"name":62,"slug":63,"count":64,"latest_published_at":65},"Science","science",135,"2026-09-23T22:45:49.000Z",{"name":67,"slug":68,"count":69,"latest_published_at":70},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",116,"2026-09-24T00:51:49.000Z",{"name":72,"slug":73,"count":74,"latest_published_at":75},"Software","software",85,"2026-09-23T20:00:00.000Z",{"name":77,"slug":78,"count":79,"latest_published_at":80},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",79,"2026-09-22T22:21:13.000Z",{"name":82,"slug":83,"count":84,"latest_published_at":85},"Startups","startups",66,"2026-09-23T17:28:38.000Z",{"name":87,"slug":88,"count":89,"latest_published_at":90},"Gaming","gaming",45,"2026-09-22T15:35:06.000Z",{"name":92,"slug":93,"count":94,"latest_published_at":95},"General","general",43,"2026-09-21T23:48:56.000Z",{"name":97,"slug":98,"count":99,"latest_published_at":100},"Reviews","reviews",27,"2026-09-22T13:00:00.000Z",{"name":102,"slug":103,"count":104,"latest_published_at":105},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
