EXCLUSIVE: Meta testing a 'human concierge' for its new personal AI agent, Muse

Reuters · · International · AI Governance

Meta is reportedly testing a service called Muse, a personal AI agent that would be supported by human concierge workers behind the scenes. The details of how that human layer operates, and what data it can access, have not been disclosed.

Why this matters: A personal AI agent means Meta wants to handle tasks for you — things that require knowing what you want, what you own, where you are, and what you are trying to do. Adding human workers to that mix is the part worth watching. Those people can see what the AI sees. Meta has not said who they are, what rules govern them, or what data they can touch. The word 'concierge' sounds like a luxury service. It is also just another way of saying someone has access to your personal information.
