Meta expands Meta AI from answering questions to completing tasks with Muse Spark 1.1

Meta is pushing its AI assistant beyond conversation. In a July 24 update, the company said Muse Spark 1.1, the model powering the Meta AI app and, now enables Meta AI to plan steps and keep going until a task is completed, rather than stopping after generating an answer.

Meta’s earlier push centered on using Meta AI to find information, think through ideas, and generate content. This new release reframes the assistant as an agent that can take actions on a user’s behalf, built on what Meta describes as Muse Spark 1.1’s ability to plan, work with users’ apps, and follow through from start to finish.

The company laid out several examples intended to show how the “acts” approach could work in everyday planning. For instance, a user renovating a kitchen would tell Meta AI their plans and style preferences, and Meta AI would then scout relevant furniture and fixtures on Marketplace that fit a budget and compile a mood board showing how the pieces come together.

For fitness and scheduling, Meta AI can create a running training plan, using inputs about the user’s availability to build a week-by-week schedule and then send the plan every Monday morning. For social planning, Meta AI can propose a birthday dinner by finding restaurant options and checking a user’s calendar to identify a night that works.

Meta also described a recurring daily briefing feature. The assistant can pull from a user’s calendar, flag relevant changes such as double bookings or plan updates, and provide a summary at a time chosen by the user. Separately, Meta said users can set up tasks once and then let Meta AI continue to deliver updates, including weekly meal plans, reminders tied to “sneaker drops,” or follow-on updates about trends the user cares about.

On research-heavy requests, Meta said Meta AI can conduct research in minutes and synthesize information drawn from across the web, including research papers and content shared by creators and communities on Meta’s platforms. If the user wants a visual format, Meta said Meta AI can generate slides from what it finds.

The update also includes an interactive drafting workflow. Meta said users can steer outputs in real time while it produces a report, presentation, or plan, including adjusting focus, changing tone, or cutting sections as the work is assembled, rather than waiting until the end to revise.

Meta’s release ties these capabilities to a broader “personal superintelligence” vision, which the company frames as an AI that knows a user’s context, is available when needed, and handles tasks so the user does not have to repeatedly re-prompt. The company said everything Meta AI creates, including training schedules, slide decks, and mood boards, lives in one place so users can revisit, build on, and share items.

These features are rolling out starting July 24 in select markets via the Meta AI app and. Meta said it plans to expand availability to more countries and surfaces, including WhatsApp, in the coming weeks.

A key limitation is what Meta did not specify in its announcement. The company did not detail which third-party apps Meta AI can “work with,” how strongly it can take actions automatically versus requiring approvals, or what data sources beyond calendar entries and public web materials are used for each task. It also did not provide performance benchmarks, accuracy thresholds, safety safeguards, or the exact set of supported task categories for the initial rollout. Users will likely want to watch how consistently the assistant follows through, how it handles errors or conflicting preferences, and whether features require explicit user confirmation for sensitive actions.
