How Meta’s AI agent Muse could transform daily professional life
3–4 minutes
Artificial intelligence is starting to take over tasks that previously required a series of manual actions. A recent example is Muse, Meta’s AI agent launched in September 2026.
Unlike a traditional chatbot, Muse was developed to perform tasks. According to Meta, the agent can browse the internet, fill out forms, work with files, create documents, and interact with connected applications.
For professionals, this opens up possibilities that go beyond asking the AI for text or an answer. Here are six ways to use Muse at work.
1. Search for information on the internet
Muse can access websites, perform searches, and gather information for a specific task. This makes it useful for the initial stages of professional research, such as competitor analysis, searching for references, or monitoring a topic.
Instead of opening multiple pages and manually organizing the data, the professional defines the goal and lets the agent execute part of the process. Meta describes the feature as being able to search, navigate, and perform actions in the browser.
The result still needs to be reviewed by the user, especially when the research involves important decisions.
2. Organize your email inbox
Muse can also help manage your inbox. The agent analyzes messages and identifies what requires attention.
This is useful for separating urgent communications, finding specific information, or establishing a follow-up routine.
Meta says Muse can act on emails and, depending on the permissions granted, perform actions on behalf of the user. The tool requests approval before sensitive actions, such as sending a message.
3. Create documents and other materials
Muse is able to transform a request into a structured material. According to Meta, the agent produces documents, PDFs, web pages, and other artifacts.
A professional can request an initial structure for a report, organize information in a document, or convert collected data into a material for review.
The advantage lies in reducing operational steps, but human review remains essential before the content is used professionally.
4. Fill out forms and perform tasks on the web
One feature that differentiates AI agents from conventional assistants is the ability to act in the browser.
Muse can open pages, navigate websites, and fill out forms. In practice, this helps with administrative tasks that require several steps, provided the user grants the necessary permissions.
The tool was developed to interrupt the process and request authorization before actions that may have consequences, such as purchases or sending emails.
5. Track tasks and goals
Not every use of AI needs to result in an immediate response. Muse was also designed to continue working on a task after the user closes the application.
The professional can set a goal and allow the agent to track progress, resume an activity when there are changes, or request authorization when a decision depends on it.
This model is useful for recurring activities, tracking deadlines, and tasks that require more than one interaction.
6. Work with files and applications
Muse can act on the user’s digital environment. The computer version, for example, was presented by Meta as being able to work with files, applications, and open browser tabs.
This expands the use of AI to situations where information is distributed across different tools. A professional can use the agent to connect steps of a task, instead of manually copying data between environments.
What to consider before delegating tasks
The greater the autonomy of an agent, the more important it is to define access limits. Muse allows you to choose which applications will be connected and which permissions will be granted.
The issue also involves professional and personal data. Meta says Muse has approval mechanisms for sensitive actions and offers controls to change or disconnect services.
In addition, initial product tests raised questions about the amount of information an agent with access to different services can consult, reinforcing the need to evaluate permissions before using it in sensitive activities.
