Meta, OpenAI and xAI push always-on AI agents with new device and bots
Why it matters for readers: If you're curious, these agents show how AI could handle everyday chores, but they also need deep access to your accounts.
- Meta revealed Muse and a keychain-sized Muse Charm device at its Connect event to let an AI agent act for users.1
- Always-on agents aim to perform tasks across apps — sending emails, filling forms, planning and making purchases autonomously.1
- OpenAI introduced Dots on September 29 and says teams use them to investigate software bugs.1
- xAI is developing Grok Bot and cited uses such as cleaning sales records and processing invoices for workplaces.1
- These agents require users to grant access to personal information, accounts and digital workflows, raising caveats about privacy and control.1
