Muse on macOS: an agent performs tasks for the user
🔧
Meta released Muse on Mac. The agent works on macOS with local files and local applications — this is not just about chatting in a chat window.
The mechanics: Muse receives a task and performs it for the user, that is, it takes actions on their behalf. The work happens on the machine itself — with files and applications installed in the system.
Breakdown by layers:
— local files — the agent gets access to the file system;
— local applications — controlling them within macOS;
— performing tasks on the user's behalf — this is what distinguishes a computer-use agent from an assistant that only responds with text 🤖
Meta presents Muse as a step toward full-fledged computer-use agents — ones that act within the system rather than being limited to responses.
The announcement came out on September 18, 2026, accompanied by an image — techcrunch.com
