Meta Muse for small business: what it does and recipes to try
Muse is Meta's personal AI agent. You ask for a task in one conversation, connect apps such as Gmail and your calendar, and Muse works on its own virtual machine with a browser. It can repeat tasks daily or weekly, and it asks before sensitive actions such as sending an email or making a purchase.

What Muse can do
Tasks
Ask for a task in your Muse conversation. Muse works through the steps and comes back when something changes or when it needs your approval.
Example: Find the quotes I sent last month that got no reply.
Scheduled tasks
Repeat a task daily, weekly or on a custom interval in your time zone. All scheduled tasks are listed under Upcoming, and they run until you cancel them.
Example: Every Monday at 09:00, list this week's supplier renewals.
Connectors and browser
Connect Gmail, a calendar and business tools such as Shopify, QuickBooks, Stripe and Slack, and let Muse use a browser on its own virtual machine.
Example: Check tomorrow's meetings and find the related email threads.

Set up your first Muse task
- Check that you qualify: age 18 or over, in the US or Canada.
- Open muse.ai or the Muse app on iOS or Android and sign in with your mobile number or email.
- Open Settings, then Permissions, and choose Ask for some actions, so Muse asks before writing anything and before important reads.
- Open Settings, then Connectors, and connect only the apps your task needs, such as Gmail.
- Pick a recipe below, copy its setup prompt and send it in your Muse conversation. Check scheduled tasks under the Assistant icon, then Upcoming.
What to check before you trust it
- Start read-only: ask for lists and draft text in the conversation before you let Muse change anything.
- Test with the recipe's fictional sample before you connect real accounts.
- Keep Ask for some actions or Always ask in Settings, Permissions, and choose Deny for any approval the task does not need.
- Review the Activity log to see what Muse did, and check Upcoming after it saves a scheduled task.
- Meta does not review custom connectors, so grant them access with care.
Good to know
- Muse availability, connectors and limits can change, and Meta's announcement describes a US rollout while the business page lists the US and Canada.
We have not run these setups ourselves. Recipes are written from public Muse documentation, and their examples are illustrative.
