Meta is making its Muse AI agent more powerful with dedicated email addresses for tasks and video chat support, expanding how users can interact with the bot.
Meta's Muse AI agent is getting more powerful
Meta is quickly iterating on its new Muse AI agent, announcing a bunch of updates today that make the bot more capable and able to chat with you in more ways.
The changes point to a broader shift in how AI agents are being positioned: not just as conversational partners, but as tools that can act on your behalf.
What's new in the Muse update?
- Dedicated email addresses: Muse agents are getting their own email addresses that they can use for accomplishing tasks.
- Video chat support: You'll also be able to communicate with your Muse via video chat.
Why email addresses are a big deal for AI agents
Giving Muse agents their own email addresses means the bot can operate through a familiar communication channel. Instead of only responding inside a chat window, a Muse agent can use email to carry out tasks.
This is a meaningful step for agentic AI because email remains a central hub for work, scheduling, notifications, and coordination. An agent with its own address can potentially send and receive messages as part of a workflow.
Video chat expands how you talk to Muse
The addition of video chat gives users another way to interact with Muse. Video can make conversations more natural and allow the agent to fit into scenarios where text alone may not be enough.

The bigger picture
Meta's Muse updates reflect a growing trend among AI assistants: moving from simple chat interfaces to agents that can take action, use external communication channels, and support richer forms of interaction. As Meta continues to iterate, Muse could become a more central part of how users delegate tasks and communicate.
