Meta is also expanding the Muse agent's functionality by integrating with Instacart, enabling users to convert voice prompts like "Taco Tuesday" into ready to checkout grocery carts. This move is part of a broader strategy to create an "action layer" for the assistant, facilitating direct commercial transactions. Other partnerships for the agent include connections with PayPal, Expedia, and Shopify to handle checkout, travel planning, and merchant shopping.
