The short versionMeta introduced Muse, a personal AI agent, on September 8. Once a creator gives it access to Instagram, it can offer strategy recommendations, flag and analyze collab offers against industry averages, draft a creative playbook and send summaries and reminders. You control what it can access, and you can require approval before it acts.
Meta wants an AI to help run your Instagram. Its personal agent, Muse, can now connect to your account and start making recommendations.
What Muse is
Meta introduced Muse on September 8 as a personal AI agent that, in Meta's words, "doesn't just answer questions, it actually does the work." It's rolling out in the US on iOS, Android and muse.ai, free for most needs, with subscription plans for more.
What it can do for Instagram
Once a creator approves access to their Instagram information, Muse can, according to Social Media Today:
- Give strategic recommendations and tips based on the account's activity
- Alert you to collaboration opportunities and analyze offers against industry averages
- Put together a creative playbook
- Send account and action summaries, and set regular reminders
Who's in control
Meta says each person decides which apps Muse connects to and how much access it gets, and can change or revoke that access at any time. Users can also set up an approval process so Muse checks in before acting.
What it means for brands and creators
For the routine parts of running an account, like reminders, summaries and a first read on a brand deal, this could save real time. The collab-offer analysis is especially interesting for creators who don't know what a fair rate looks like.
But an AI working from your account data will give you advice based on what already happened. Positioning, taste and the story you're telling still need a person. Our advice: turn the approval step on, treat Muse's playbook as a first draft, and keep strategy decisions with you or your team.
