Meta's Muse AI agent gets a Mac app, and Meta says it is coming soon to AI glasses
Meta's Muse AI agent now runs on the Mac, nine days after it launched on phones, and Meta still describes it as "coming soon to AI glasses". Mark Zuckerberg announced Muse for Mac on X on September 17, saying it "works across apps, files, calendar, notes, and messages on your computer" and that "you control what it can access."

Meta's download page describes the Mac app as an agent that "organizes files, fills out forms, and pulls from Messages, Calendar, and Notes, all with your permission." It sits next to the free iPhone and Android apps, and Meta pitches the three as one agent that keeps the same thread across every device.
Muse is an agent that works in the background
Meta introduced Muse on September 8, and its announcement describes a personal agent that does tasks rather than only answering questions, powered by Muse Spark, which Meta calls its most capable model to date.
According to Meta, Muse can "open a browser, fill out forms, and negotiate on their behalf", keeps working after you close the app, and comes back for approval before it sends an email or makes a purchase. You can talk to it in the Muse app or directly in WhatsApp.
Each user gets a dedicated cloud computer that Meta calls Muse Secure VM. A separate Sentinel agent on that machine has to approve anything Muse sends to the internet, and Meta says Muse does not share conversations or the data in the VM with its ad systems. A version encrypted with a key only the user holds, Muse Confidential VM, is due "later this year", according to Meta.
Glasses support is still only "coming soon"
The glasses line is the part that matters most for owners of Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta and Meta Ray-Ban Display. Meta's September 8 post says Muse "is rolling out in the US on iOS, Android, and muse.ai, and coming soon to AI glasses." That is the whole of it: Meta has not said which glasses, when, or what an agent would do through a pair of frames.
The Mac app does not change that. Neither Zuckerberg's post nor the download page mentions glasses, and Meta has not said whether the Mac app is limited to the US like the phone launch. Meta has kept widening its glasses line, including a Meta-branded range built with EssilorLuxottica from $299, but none of those frames run Muse yet.
Meta One adds paid tiers for heavier Meta AI use
Muse is free "for most of what people need", Meta says, "with subscription plans for people who want to do more." It has not published those plans in its announcement.
A separate subscription covers Meta AI. Meta One launched on September 15, starting at $2.99 a month in the US for single-app plans, with a $7.99 Core bundle and a $19.99 Premium bundle that add "more media generation with Meta AI" and other extras. Meta says "Meta AI will still be free for everyday use", and that Meta One "will expand to Edits, AI glasses, and more over time."
Meta gives no date or feature list for the glasses part of Meta One either. For now, Muse runs on a phone, a Mac and in WhatsApp, and glasses owners are still waiting for the "coming soon".
