Muse isn't geared to coding or to your job. It's geared to your life: the first personal agent.
I've been using Muse for a few weeks now. It's a different kind of AI, but similar in many ways. It isn't geared to coding, and it isn't geared to your job. It's geared and tooled to your life. It's more of a personal AI than most of what we see on the market.
Muse is what I'd call the first personal agent. It's not for your job. It's about you as a person, and your family. It's about helping you get a little more done in your daily life. That's refreshing.
Meta built Muse to remember you and to keep going when it hits a wall. That's the whole idea: an agent that works for the person, not for your company. Muse has paid plans, but I've used it for a few weeks on the free plan and never got close to a limit. In that way, Muse is also an incredible value.
So how do I use it? As memory. It helps me remember things, get things done, and file. It helps with the little things in life that otherwise don't get done, or are just a little annoying.
There's a lot of work that doesn't show up in labor numbers. There's a lot of grit we all deal with that is just about getting everyday things done. I found Muse helpful there. Planning a life, handling the errands, remembering appointments, holding things together: it makes a difference.
I don't use it for work. I use Claude Code for my development work, and other models, including Qwen, in parts of the production systems I use.
I've connected Muse to my Instagram, to email, to some file sharing systems, and into Kyle. When it has that rounded sense of information, it definitely helps me stay organized, especially with Kyle.
An example: I have it watch my Instagram saves. When I drop a recipe in, it pulls it out, adjusts the recipe, and puts it in my recipe box, so it's there and I don't have to go look for it. Is that a big deal? No. Is it helpful? Yes.
It created a place in Kyle for me to keep lists of wines I like. I can take a photo of a bottle label, and it files it away. I can talk to it, give it what I thought or my notes, and it organizes them. It takes my rambling and turns it into data. And then that data is useful.
Even being very adept with AI, Muse has earned its place in the dock on my phone. It's a place I can go to get things done. Not necessarily work, but things that have to get done.
