如果说对 Meta 多么重视人工智能还有什么怀疑的话，这里有一个新的信号：该公司于周三宣布，其 Muse 助手现在可以在专门的 iPad 应用程序中使用。这是一个 Instagram 花了大约 15 年时间才达到的里程碑，尽管用户不断提出需求。
If there’s any doubt about how seriously Meta is taking AI, here’s a new signal: the company on Wednesday announced that its Muse assistant is now available in a dedicated iPad app. That’s a milestone it took Instagram some 15 years to reach, despite constant user demand.
与此同时，Muse 在 iPhone 上发布仅一个月后就登陆了 iPad。
Muse, meanwhile, hit the iPad just a month after launching on iPhone.
据市场情报公司 Sensor Tower 估计，自 9 月 8 日在 iOS 和 Android 上发布以来，Muse 的安装量已超过 660 万次。这款应用现在是数十个面向消费者的人工智能代理之一，允许用户连接他们的账户以处理电子邮件、会议、账单等，并完成预订、订购杂货、设定目标和进行购买等任务。
Since launching on iOS and Android on September 8, Muse has topped 6.6 million installs, according to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. The app, which is now one of dozens of consumer-facing AI agents, lets users connect their accounts to stay on top of email, meetings, bills, and more, and to complete tasks like booking reservations, ordering groceries, setting goals, and making purchases.
为了实现这一点，Meta 一直在增加合作伙伴，这些合作伙伴在 Muse 中被称为“连接器”。用户可以根据他们愿意让 AI 代理处理的在线生活部分，有选择地添加它们。
To make that work, Meta has been adding partners in the effort, which appear in Muse as “connectors.”Users can add and to them selectively, depending on which parts of their online life they’re comfortable letting an AI agent handle.
随着 iPad 版本的发布，Meta 更新了此列表，其中包含几个较新的添加项，包括针对小型企业的连接器（如 Asana、Canva、Dropbox、Figma、QuickBooks、GitHub、Klaviyo 和 Zoom）以及用于 Meta 广告账户的连接器。它还添加了 Notion 和 Granola。
With the iPad release, Meta has updated this list with several of its newer additions, including connectors aimed at small businesses, like Asana, Canva, Dropbox, Figma, QuickBooks, GitHub, Klaviyo, and Zoom, as well as connectors for Meta ad accounts. It also added Notion and Granola.
此外，Meta 最近宣布了更多的零售合作伙伴，如 Best Buy、Gap、Sephora、Walmart 和 Wayfair。这些允许代理在这些零售商的网站上购物并代表用户完成交易。由于这项技术还是新的，当网站将代理误认为机器人并阻止其访问时，这些体验仍然会遇到问题。
In addition, Meta recently announced more retail partners, like Best Buy, Gap, Sephora, Walmart, and Wayfair. These allow the agent to shop those retailers’ sites and complete transactions on users’ behalf. Because this technology is still new, these experiences can still run into issues as websites mistake agents for bots and block their access.
周三，Meta 宣布正与行业伙伴合作，通过开放标准的形式寻找该问题的技术解决方案，该标准将允许个人人工智能代理向企业表明自己的身份。这将有助于企业将优质机器人与不良机器人区分开来。
On Tuesday, Meta announced that it’s working with industry partners on a technological solution to this problem in the form of an open standard that would allow personal AI agents to identify themselves to businesses. That would help businesses sort the good bots from the bad.
