Meta’s Personal AI Agent Friend or Foe?

Meta’s Muse is not just another chatbot waiting for someone to type a question. The personal AI agent can browse the web, work with files, send emails, create documents, shop, and handle certain tasks for users.

That difference sounds small until the software actually starts doing things. A chatbot can suggest a restaurant. An agent can research restaurants, organize the choices, contact someone, and help make the arrangements. Suddenly, the computer is not simply answering questions. It is taking jobs off the to-do list.
