Meta brings its Muse AI agent to the iPad

Meta’s Muse iOS app now supports the iPad, with an interface intended to use the tablet’s larger display and multitasking capabilities. The update also adds software connections and business goal features aimed at small business owners.

The update expands Muse’s availability and task integrations, with only a mild lean toward greater AI agency and user dependence.

Meta brings its Muse AI agent to the iPad

Meta’s Muse AI agent is now available with native support for the iPad. The update brings the iPhone app’s assistant to Apple’s tablet, where its larger screen and multitasking capabilities can give users more room to work.

A tablet version for a growing AI app

Muse first launched on iOS nearly a month ago. It spent several weeks as the top free app in Apple’s App Store before the latest update added iPad support.

The iPad version is expected to work much like Muse on iPhone, while making better use of the tablet’s display and iPadOS multitasking. The release notes mention the new support briefly, but the change extends the app to another of Apple’s devices.

Meta also released a Mac version about a week after the mobile app debuted. That version expanded Muse’s use to desktop tasks, including organizing files. Together, the iPad and Mac releases give the AI agent a presence across mobile and desktop devices.

More connections and business planning

The latest release also updates Muse on iPhone. Users can connect the agent to more software, including Canva, Dropbox, Figma, QuickBooks, GitHub, Zoom, Asana, and Klaviyo. New connectors are also available for Granola and Notion.

These integrations let Muse work with a wider range of tools. The update is aimed in part at small business owners, who can give Muse a business goal and have the agent plan work toward it.

Meta describes potential tasks such as planning marketing, preparing client pitches, and developing “new product pages.” The goal feature gives users a way to set a broader objective for the agent, while the software connections bring more of their work tools within reach.

Meta is extending Muse beyond phones

The iPad release arrives alongside other signs that Meta is expanding where Muse can be used. The company announced a standalone Tamagotchi-like device called the Muse Charm, designed to run the AI agent without a smartphone.

Meta is also working to bring Muse to its smart glasses. Those efforts point to a broader range of ways to access the same AI agent, from an iPhone or iPad to a Mac, a dedicated device, or glasses.

The quick addition of iPad support contrasts with Meta’s much slower move to make an iPad version of Instagram: the company took 15 years to release one. The faster rollout for Muse reflects the attention Meta is giving its AI initiatives.

What the update changes for users

For iPad owners, the update means Muse can be used on a screen suited to seeing more at once and taking advantage of multitasking. Small businesses may also find the new connections and goal setting useful for coordinating tasks across their software.

The update does not change Muse’s basic role as an AI agent. It makes the app available on another device and broadens the tools and business tasks it can connect to, while Meta continues to explore additional hardware and platforms for the agent.
