GoKawiilMeta tests 'Muse' AI agent that completes real online tasks, including purchases
A reviewer tried Meta's AI agent, nicknamed Muse, by assigning it several tedious personal tasks in parallel, including chasing down accounts and making a purchase with a credit card. The agent operated by opening multiple virtual browser windows simultaneously to work through the requests.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The test suggests Meta is pushing toward autonomous agents capable of financial transactions on a user's behalf, not just information retrieval, which raises questions about oversight and trust once AI can spend money directly. If such agents become mainstream, they could reshape how people delegate everyday digital chores, though the reviewer's experience shows the process can still feel chaotic to monitor.
- Meta's AI agent, called Muse, can be assigned multiple tasks at once via parallel virtual browser sessions.
- In testing, the agent successfully completed a task involving a credit card transaction.
- The demonstration signals a shift toward AI agents handling routine personal errands, including purchases, rather than just answering questions.
