Meta, OpenAI and Instinct Race to Turn Personal AI Agents Into Always-On Assistants

Meta, OpenAI and Instinct are pushing a new class of personal AI agents from chat into delegated work, with Meta's Muse, OpenAI's dots and Instinct all positioned to handle tasks across apps, browsers and connected accounts. The launches make the same bet: consumers and workers will let AI systems remember context, run in the background and ask for approval only when judgment or sensitive actions are required.
