Meta launches paid Muse Wonder AI model for its personal agent app
Meta has launched Muse Wonder, a new artificial intelligence model for its Muse personal agent app.
The company says it is its most advanced option for powering assistants that handle tasks such as booking dinner reservations and checking availability.
Muse is free to download, but using Wonder requires a subscription costing $20 or $100 a month.
Meta says the model is designed to try different approaches when real-world tasks run into problems, rather than stopping and asking the user what to do.
The launch is part of Meta’s effort to earn money from AI beyond its main online advertising business.
Meta says Wonder has its strongest safeguards yet against cyber misuse, though those protections are currently limited to the paid model.
Some users have said the agent accessed personal messages without permission; Meta disputes those claims and says it is helping users understand how the app handles authorized communications.
Developers can also access Wonder through Meta’s API, while a more powerful version is available through the paid Muse Code service.

What people are saying
We specifically tried to train the model to be able to try other approaches instead of stalling and then checking back in with the user at any time.
I think there are certainly instances users have authorized various communications or whatnot earlier in a conversation, and then may have forgotten about that,
