Muse is gaining popularity and helping convince investors that Meta’s AI bets are paying off Meta’s stock is having a month to remember as Facebook parent’s artificial-intelligence assistant gains steam. Shares of Meta surged 7% on Monday, putting them on track to reach their highest levels since January. The momentum is being driven in large part by Meta’s newly launched personal AI assistant, Muse, which recently claimed the top spot on Apple’s U.S.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has branded his company’s AI strategy as a quest for “personal superintelligence” — technology that knows the user deeply and is highly customizable. Investors are getting a better idea of what that looks like with Muse. Introduced on Sept. 8, Muse specializes in executing multistep tasks such as finding data across various accounts, filling out web forms, and negotiating and making online purchases.
Users can query the agent on the Muse app or through WhatsApp. Don’t Short Yourself offers weekly money tips to help you earn it, stack it and grow it. I would like to receive updates and special offers from Dow Jones and affiliates.

While Meta’s traditional advertising business has been growing rapidly, investors were uncertain whether the company could open up new revenue opportunities with AI. Now the success of Muse is easing some concerns about Meta’s spending levels and helping convince investors that the company’s AI monetization strategies will pan out.
The basic Muse app is free for users, with additional paid tiers charging $20 and $100 a month. Other monetization opportunities that intrigue Wall Street include the company’s newly introduced Meta Model API, which marks the first time Meta has charged developers and enterprise users for access to its underlying models.
