Meta’s Muse AI Assistant: Hands-on with Its Productivity Features and Privacy Boundaries

Hands-on testing shows the tool can execute multi-step routines as promised, yet its ability to autonomously surface and synthesize granular user context provokes unease. As Meta pivots from entertainment-focused chat experiences to high-touch daily utility, the trade-off between task automation and personal exposure comes into sharp relief.
