Meta introduces Muse AI agent and new VR glasses at Meta Connect 2026

At Meta Connect 2026, Meta announced Muse, a personal AI agent designed to perform tasks across a user's computer, including managing files, messages, and calendars. Muse operates within a secure, isolated Linux virtual machine (VM) to protect user data, with a gatekeeper system called Sentinel managing authentication tokens. Meta also unveiled new lightweight VR glasses, weighing approximately 100 grams, featuring 5K micro-OLED displays and IMAX Enhanced certification. The company is also introducing Muse Charm, a small, wearable device with a touchscreen and fingerprint sensor, expected to be available later this year. To address privacy concerns, Meta is implementing a bug bounty program with rewards up to $300,000 for valid reports, including $130,000 for successful prompt injection attempts. While Meta emphasizes the security of the Muse VM, the company notes that by default, user interactions with Muse may be used to train future AI models, though users can opt out of this data collection in their settings.
