What is Meta Muse?
Muse is Meta's personal AI agent, launched in September 2026. It acts rather than only answering: it can send an email or make a purchase, asking you first for sensitive steps like those. It runs on Muse Spark, Meta's model, on a dedicated cloud machine Meta calls the Muse Secure VM, with its own browser. A second agent, the Sentinel, sits on the same machine and has to approve anything Muse sends to the internet. Meta says Muse conversations aren't shared with its ad systems.
Muse launched in the US and reached Canada about ten days later. Meta hasn't named the next countries.
How do the prices compare?
TechCrunch reported that Muse is free to start (a card is needed), with Power at $20 a month and Maximum at $100 a month for more use, and a meter that tells you when free use runs out.
AppuBot has no usage meter of its own: it is free during early access, and your bots use an AI plan you already have, such as Claude or ChatGPT through Codex. If you already pay for one of those, there is nothing new to buy.
