Meta announced Muse, a personal AI agent running on a dedicated VM in Meta's cloud, initially available in the US, with support for its AI glasses coming soon.

It offers a free tier up to 100M tokens per week and paid tiers at $20 and $100 monthly, though early reviews note the amount of personal data it autonomously gathers may raise trust concerns.
