Step 1: Get Muse
- On your iPhone or Android device, open the App Store / Google Play and search for "Muse" (maker: Meta). Available in the US and Canada as of Oct 2026.
- Alternatively, try it in the Meta AI app (meta.ai), which is powered by the Muse Spark model.
Step 2: Sign Up & Link a Payment Card
Create or sign in with your Meta account. Muse requires a payment card even on the Free plan — this is how Meta meters your free usage. You will see a usage meter and a warning before free capacity runs out, so you won't be charged without notice.
Step 3: Personalize & Connect
- Avatar & personality: Muse has a customizable virtual avatar and a chat-style UI — you can interrupt, switch topics or change languages mid-conversation.
- Connect accounts: link your email and calendar so Muse can handle email, scheduling and travel on your behalf.
- Set action boundaries: decide which actions Muse may take automatically vs. which need your approval.
Step 4: Give Muse Work
Short tasks
Type or speak things like: "draft a reply to the Airbnb host about the check-in time" or "find flights to Tokyo next Friday under $900 and book the best option."
Long goals
Muse is designed for goals, not just tasks: "plan and execute a 3-day NYC trip for my family with a $2,000 budget". Muse builds the plan, coordinates your time and resources, and advances the work on its own — then comes back to you when it needs a decision.
Step 5: Stay in Control (Permissions & Security)
- Muse's Sentinel permission system gates sensitive actions: sending email, purchasing, or sharing information externally requires permission checks; critical actions need explicit confirmation.
- You can review and revoke permissions anytime in settings.
- If Muse is about to spend money, expect a confirmation prompt — don't approve purchases you didn't initiate.
Step 6: Manage Your Plan
- Free: watch the usage meter; upgrade only if you hit limits weekly.
- Power ($20/mo): recommended once you rely on Muse daily.
- Maximum ($100/mo): for power users hitting Power limits.
