Meta's Muse agent comes to iPad a month after its mobile debut

Muse reaches iPad 29 days after its mobile launch. More connectors expand its work and shopping options, but retailers can still block the agent.

Meta’s Muse assistant now has a dedicated iPad app, TechCrunch reports. The October 7 release comes 29 days after its September 8 debut on iOS and Android, extending access to the agent as Meta adds more work and shopping connections.

Muse has passed 6.6 million installs since its mobile launch, according to Sensor Tower estimates cited by TechCrunch. That figure measures downloads. The report gives no task-completion rate for the iPad app.

More accounts for work and shopping

Muse lets users connect accounts to manage email, meetings and bills, or ask it to book reservations, order groceries and make purchases. Users choose which services to connect and sign in to each one.

The iPad release includes newer connectors aimed at small businesses, such as Asana, Canva, Dropbox, Figma, QuickBooks, GitHub, Klaviyo and Zoom. Meta ad accounts are also on the list, along with Notion and Granola.

Recent retail additions include Best Buy, Gap, Sephora, Walmart and Wayfair. These connections let Muse shop and complete transactions on a user’s behalf. TechCrunch reports that websites can still mistake agents for bots and block them.

Meta said on October 6 that it is working with industry partners on an open standard for personal AI agents to identify themselves to businesses. The proposed standard addresses that access problem. The report does not establish when businesses will adopt it or how often it will prevent a blocked transaction.
