Meta has launched Muse, an AI agent that can autonomously send emails, book travel and act across apps. The tool is available in the U.S. via a Muse app and WhatsApp, with free and paid tiers. Internal testers have reported mixed results and security concerns even as Meta highlights virtual-machine safeguards and opt-out training options.
Apple has removed the waitlist for Siri AI on iOS 27, enabling automatic downloads for eligible devices unless demand spikes. The feature, revealed at WWDC, now operates on a modern architecture and expands to more devices, with beta access and device compatibility required.
