Meta has brought its Muse AI assistant to iPad and added connectors for work and everyday apps, including Asana, Canva, Dropbox, GitHub and Notion. The expansion gives Muse a larger screen and a broader set of services to work with, while Meta’s new business features put the agent’s ability to act on a goal more squarely in view.
Meta AI Watch analysis
What happened
The iPad app and new features were reported by 9to5Mac on 7 October. Its account of the update says users can connect services including Asana, Canva, Dropbox, Figma, QuickBooks, GitHub, Klaviyo, Zoom and Meta ad accounts. Meta also says users can give Muse a business goal, such as planning marketing content or building a client pitch, with approval required before it carries out the work. Granola and Notion are among the additional connectors mentioned.
Muse first launched on iPhone in September, with a Mac version following days later. The iPad release extends that rollout; the new connectors and business tasks broaden what the assistant can attempt.
Why it matters
A personal assistant that can reach into several apps is more useful when it can move work along, not merely suggest what to do next. These additions point towards Muse handling parts of a small business workflow, from preparing marketing material to drafting a pitch. Requiring approval keeps the user in the loop, though it does not by itself tell us how well the tasks work or what permissions each connection needs.
The iPad version also gives Muse a new place to fit into people’s routines. For users who already work on a tablet, that may matter more than another AI app badge on a phone.
Our read
This is a meaningful expansion of the product, not just a new icon on a larger screen. The interesting test is whether Muse can reliably coordinate useful work across connected services while making its actions and permissions clear. “Give it a goal” is a compelling pitch; the approval step is welcome, but the results will have to earn the confidence.
What to watch
- Which connectors are available at launch, and what access each one requires.
- How clearly Muse presents proposed actions before asking users to approve them.
- Whether Meta adds evidence of task quality beyond the feature descriptions.
Discussion spark: Would you let an AI agent work across your business apps if it asked for approval before acting, or is control over each individual step essential?
