Most AI tools feel like gadgets: you type a prompt, you get an answer, and you move on. Muse is different. Muse is Meta’s personal AI agent, which means every user gets their own agent running on its own dedicated computer that stays with them between conversations. It remembers your context, builds things for you, and keeps working in the background while you get on with your day.
If you have heard about Muse and want to try it, this guide will walk you through exactly how to use Muse AI, from signing up to having your first real conversation and connecting it to your everyday apps. No technical background needed. By the end, you will know your way around the app and have a clear sense of what your agent can do for you.
Step 1: Join Muse
Before you can talk to your agent, you need a Muse account. Muse launched on September 8, 2026, and it is currently available in the US and Canada. You can join on whichever device you prefer:
- Web: Visit https://muse.ai/join and follow the sign-up steps right in your browser.
- iPhone: Download the Muse app from the App Store.
- Android: Download the Muse app from Google Play.
- Mac: Download the desktop app from https://ai.meta.com/muse/download/
The joining process is quick. Once you are in, you land in the main chat with your own personal agent. One thing to understand from the start: Muse is strictly personal. Every conversation is between you and your own agent. There are no group chats or shared conversations, so everything you say stays between the two of you.
A quick note on pricing before you begin: Muse offers free access with a usage limit, plus optional paid monthly plans. Check the current plans inside the app for details, since pricing can change over time.
Step 2: Redeem an Invite Code
New users get a short window to redeem an invite code, and it is worth doing because it benefits both sides: when you redeem someone’s code, both of you receive 1 billion Muse tokens.
Timing matters here. On mobile, the option lives under Settings > Redeem token and is only available for the first 48 hours after you join. On the web at muse.ai, go to Settings > General > Usage > Redeem invite code. If you joined through someone’s invite link, the code may already be filled in for you.
If you are wondering where the code itself comes from, anyone who already has Muse can generate one for you: the inviter’s Invite button sits at the top right of the chat header (it shows as a gift icon on iOS). Got a code from a friend? Enter it in Settings within 48 hours of joining and the tokens are added to both accounts.
Don’t skip this step. It takes less than a minute and it is the one part of the setup that expires.
Step 3: Start Your First Conversation
With setup done, the real part begins: talking to your agent. The main screen is a chat, and you can simply type or speak whatever is on your mind. There is no special format and no command list to memorize.
Here are some good first things to try:
- “Tell me about yourself and what you can do for me.”
- “What did I ask you about yesterday?” (Your agent keeps context between conversations, since it runs on its own dedicated computer.)
- “Help me plan my week. Here are the things I need to get done.”
- “I want to learn basic Spanish. Where should I start?”
Your agent responds conversationally, like a helpful assistant who already knows your situation. Unlike a standard chatbot that forgets everything when you close the tab, your Muse agent’s dedicated computer means it carries context across sessions. You can pick up a project on Monday and continue it on Thursday without re-explaining everything.
If the answer is not quite what you wanted, just say so. “That is too long,” “make it simpler,” or “give me the short version” all work. The agent adjusts. Think of it less like operating software and more like briefing a very capable assistant.
Step 4: Explore What Your Agent Can Do
The chat is only the surface. Muse includes several tabs and features that let your agent do real work for you. Here is what to explore after your first few conversations:
Artifacts: These are documents, pages, and apps your agent builds for you. Ask for a travel itinerary and you get a proper document, not just a chat reply. Ask for a small web page or a simple app and your agent can actually build it. Everything your agent creates is saved and easy to find later.
Feed: This is like a personal newspaper. Your agent writes short editorial posts for you on a schedule, on topics you care about. Instead of scrolling endless feeds, you get a concise briefing made just for you.
Ideas tab: Not sure what to ask for? The Ideas tab suggests things you could build or do with your agent. It is a good place to browse when you want inspiration.
Goals tab: For the bigger things you are working toward. You can set goals, and your agent helps you make plans and track progress over time. A fitness goal, a savings target, a learning project, they all fit here.
Library tab: This is where everything collects: your artifacts, media, and files. When you need to find something your agent made for you weeks ago, look here.
Take a few minutes to tap through each tab. Each one represents a different way your agent works for you beyond simple question-and-answer.
Step 5: Connect WhatsApp and Other Channels
One of the most practical things Muse can do is connect to your messaging channels. WhatsApp is one of the supported options. Once connected, you can talk to your agent from the app you already use every day, without opening Muse separately.
Why does this matter? Because it turns your agent into something you can reach in the moment. Walking the dog and remember something you need to do? Message your agent on WhatsApp and it is handled or at least captured. Sitting in a meeting and need a quick fact? Same thing.
To set this up, look for the channel connection options in the app’s settings. Follow the prompts to link your messaging account. Once it is connected, your agent works the same way it does in the main app: same memory, same abilities, same tabs and files.
Your agent is powered by Muse Spark, from Meta’s Muse model family (the family first launched on April 8, 2026), so the quality of its responses is consistent no matter which channel you reach it through.
Step 6: Tips for Getting the Best Results
You now know the mechanics of how to use Muse AI. These tips will help you get genuinely better results from day to day.
1. Give context, not just commands. Instead of “write an email,” try “write a short, polite email to my landlord asking about the parking situation, and mention I need an answer by Friday.” The more your agent knows about the situation, the better the output.
2. Treat it as ongoing, not one-shot. Your agent keeps context between conversations, so build on previous chats. “Remember that budget plan we made? Update it with these new numbers” is far more powerful than starting over each time.
3. Use the tabs for their strengths. Quick questions go in chat. Things you want to keep belong in Artifacts or the Library. Recurring updates go in the Feed. Long-term ambitions go in Goals. Matching the task to the right surface saves you time.
4. Be honest about bad outputs. If something is wrong, too long, too formal, or just not useful, say so plainly. Your agent learns your preferences from this feedback, and corrections make every future answer better.
5. Check your usage. Free access comes with a usage limit. If you find yourself hitting it, look at the paid monthly plans inside the app and see whether an upgrade makes sense for how you use it.
6. Keep exploring the Ideas tab. As you use Muse more, the suggestions get more relevant. It is an easy way to discover things your agent can do that you would never have thought to ask for.
