One of Muse's most underrated features: you can just text it on WhatsApp. No new app to open. Your agent sits in the same list as your friends and family.
Step 1: Set up Muse first
Before chatting in WhatsApp, do the one-time setup in the Muse app or at muse.ai: sign in, choose your privacy settings, set permissions, and connect any apps you want Muse to use. It takes about 15 minutes (full guide).
Step 2: Start a chat with Muse in WhatsApp
Meta supports messaging Muse directly in WhatsApp. Look for the option to chat with Muse from the Muse app or within WhatsApp. Make sure it's Muse you're messaging, not Meta AI. They're different assistants: Meta AI chats, Muse acts.
Step 3: Use it for quick, on-the-go tasks
WhatsApp is best for short requests while you're out:
- "Remind me to call the vet at 4pm."
- "What time is my dentist appointment on Thursday?"
- "Find a coffee shop near me that's open now with seating and wifi."
- "Add milk, eggs and coffee to my grocery list."
- "Is my flight tomorrow on time?"
What's easier in the Muse app
| Do it in WhatsApp | Do it in the Muse app |
|---|---|
| Quick questions and reminders | First-time setup and connectors |
| Simple bookings you've done before | Permissions and privacy settings |
| Status checks ("is my package here?") | Watching Muse's browser on big tasks |
| Short follow-ups to running tasks | Reviewing the activity log and memories |
Privacy tips for chatting with an agent
- Be careful with screenshots. Forwarding a screenshot of someone else's message shares their information with Muse too.
- Don't send passwords or card numbers in chat. Muse handles payments through one-time card numbers, and it should never need your password in a message.
- Watch for approvals. When Muse needs permission, follow its prompt to approve. Don't approve anything you didn't ask for.

Do I need the Muse app to use it in WhatsApp?
