One agent on Meta’s cloud, or a whole team on yours

You talk to one Chief of Staff. It builds the team, and each bot runs the engine that suits its job, on the plan or key you already have. An engine is the AI that does a bot’s thinking. To run teams and use tools, pick a tool-capable one: the built-in Fuigo engine with a supported model, Claude Code, Codex or Hermes. A plain OpenAI-compatible endpoint works for chat and drafting only. Portraits made with Murage’s own avatar generator. See every engine

Murage does not run Meta Muse. It takes the same idea a layer up

Muse is one personal agent on Meta’s cloud. Murage is a whole team on your computer.

Both do real work for you: research, drafting, booking, shopping and follow-ups. The difference is the shape. Muse is one agent on a cloud computer Meta hosts. Murage is a Chief of Staff, Ember, who takes the job, builds a team of specialist bots for it and runs them on your computer, on the AI you pick for each bot.

What Murage adds on top

A Chief of Staff, Ember, who builds the team for each job and hands out the work
The engine you choose for each bot: Fuigo (built in), Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Grok Build, OpenCode, local models or your own API keys
Bring the AI plan you already pay for: Claude, Codex or Grok plans, local models, or your own keys
1,500+ apps, plus any public API or MCP: a bot works out the connection itself
Projects that split a job into cards on a board, so it keeps its plan, files and next steps in one place
Lessons from your corrections that you can see, edit and undo
Murage for Chrome (coming) will work in your own signed-in Chrome, in the tabs you share. Today, “Use my Chrome” lets one bot work in your own Chrome on Mac and Linux, inside the experimental built-in browser
iPhone and Android app coming (approvals, questions and calls with your team). Today: the web app on your phone, and your Chief in Telegram, Slack, Discord or WhatsApp
It works in any country, because it runs on your computer

The Murage app is

Free

on top of the AI plan or key you already pay for. Your provider still bills its own use.

Meta Muse

Free for most uses, with paid plans for more

Meta says Muse is free for most of what people need, with subscription plans for more. Paid plans are reported at $20 and $100 a month; Meta’s own post gives no prices. Muse’s plans include its own model. Murage is free but doesn’t include the AI: add the AI plan or key you bring.

Muse runs on Muse Secure VM, a dedicated cloud computer hosted by Meta.

Who does the work.

You brief one Chief of Staff. It builds a team of specialists for the job, and the team keeps its memory for next time. You can put a reviewer on any team to check work before it reaches you. Portraits made with Murage’s own avatar generator.

Meta Muse

One agent per person, on its own cloud computer.

What Murage adds for a Meta Muse user.

The brief

“Go through my inbox before I get in. Draft replies in my voice. Send nothing.”

What came back

Twelve emails came in. The team drafted eight replies, set four aside, and left two questions only the owner could answer. Nothing was sent.

A team, led by a Chief of Staff

Ember, your Chief of Staff, takes the brief, builds the team of specialist bots and runs it. You talk to one lead and the work spreads across the right bots.

The engine you choose, and the plan you already pay for

Run each bot on Fuigo, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, Grok Build, OpenCode, a local model or your own API key. Murage is free, and your AI provider bills you as usual.

Your own signed-in browser

Murage for Chrome (coming) will work in your own signed-in Chrome, in the tabs you share. Today, “Use my Chrome” lets one bot work in your own Chrome on Mac and Linux, inside the experimental built-in browser. Amazon began blocking Muse on September 20 (reported), so where an agent works matters; with Murage you decide which tabs a bot sees.

It works wherever your computer is

Murage has no country list. Install it in any country and bring an AI sign-in you already have.

Lessons you can see, edit and undo

When you correct a bot, Murage turns it into a lesson. You can read every lesson, change it or take it back.

Where Meta Muse is ahead.

Fair’s fair. If one of these matters most to you, it may be the better choice today.

1
It works with your computer off
Muse runs on a cloud computer and keeps going after you close the app. Murage runs while your computer is on, until Murage Cloud opens.
2
Nothing to install to try it
Muse is on iOS, Android, the web and WhatsApp, and it is free for most of what people need.
3
Built-in checkout with one-time cards
Muse pays through Link by Stripe, which creates a one-time-use card so your real card details stay hidden.
4
Meta’s reach
It lives where many people already are, including WhatsApp, and Meta says it is coming to AI glasses.

Which should you choose?

Muse is one personal agent on Meta’s cloud. Murage is a team on your computer, led by a Chief of Staff and run on the engine you choose.

Choose Murage if

You want a team of bots led by a Chief of Staff, not one agent
You want the engine to be your choice, on a Claude, Codex or Grok plan you already pay for
You are outside the US and want to start today
You want the work, memory and files on your own computer, in an app you can read the source of

Same job, both ways.

Five real jobs, walked through with Murage and with Meta Muse.

1
Reorder office supplies on Amazon
With Murage
Murage for Chrome (coming) will work in your own signed-in Chrome, in the tabs you share. Today, “Use my Chrome” lets one bot work in your own Chrome on Mac and Linux, inside the experimental built-in browser. Ask Ember; a shopping bot works in the Amazon tab you share and asks before it buys.
With Meta Muse
Muse shops from its own VM. Amazon began blocking Muse on September 20 (reported), so Amazon orders are the part to check first.
2
Clear Monday’s inbox
With Murage
Ember sends an inbox bot through your connected mail, sorts what matters and drafts replies. New bots ask before anything is sent, and you can answer from the app or Telegram, Slack, Discord or WhatsApp.
With Meta Muse
Muse connects to your email with read-only or send access, and checks with you before sending.
3
Research three competitors and write a brief
With Murage
Ember builds a small team: a researcher per competitor and a writer. They share a project board, and the brief lands as a file in your folder.
With Meta Muse
One Muse agent researches and drafts in its VM.
4
Do the same job every week
With Murage
Correct a bot once and the correction becomes a lesson. You can open it, edit it or undo it before next week’s run.
With Meta Muse
Muse remembers what it learned, and you can tell it to forget specific things.
5
Approve something from your phone
With Murage
A bot pauses at the stop line and asks in the app and in Telegram, Slack, Discord or WhatsApp; the phone app is coming.
With Meta Muse
Muse asks inside its app before sensitive actions.

Coming from Muse: your first day on Murage

You do not need to export anything from Muse. Start Murage next to it and move jobs over one at a time.

1
Install Murage on your Mac, Windows or Ubuntu computer.
2
Pick the engine for your first bot: the AI plan you already pay for, a local model or an API key.
3
Meet Ember, your Chief of Staff, and describe the job you gave Muse most often.
4
Connect the apps that job touches. If an app is missing, a bot works out the connection itself.
5
Let the first run ask before it sends anything, then correct what you want changed and watch the lesson appear.

Questions about Murage and Meta Muse.

Is Meta Muse open source?

Meta’s launch posts describe Muse as a hosted service that runs on Muse Secure VM, and we found no open-source release of the agent. Murage is open source under AGPL-3.0, so you can read every line of the app that runs your team. Checked October 9, 2026.

Muse not available in my country. What can I use?

Meta says Muse is rolling out in the US. Murage runs on your computer, so it has no country list: install it, sign in to an AI plan you already have, and meet Ember, your Chief of Staff.

Do I need a Meta account to use Murage?

No. Murage doesn’t use a Meta account. It runs on your computer with the AI sign-in or API key you choose. (Meta’s launch post doesn’t say what account Muse needs; check its sign-up screen.)

Can I use Murage without paying for another subscription?

Yes. Murage is free. It runs on the AI plan you already pay for, such as Claude, Codex or Grok, or on a local model, and your AI provider bills as usual.

Does Murage work in my own browser the way a person does?

Murage for Chrome (coming) will work in your own signed-in Chrome, in the tabs you share. Today, “Use my Chrome” lets one bot work in your own Chrome on Mac and Linux, inside the experimental built-in browser. Bots work in your signed-in session, and they ask before anything is sent.

Does Murage keep running when my computer is off?

Not today. It runs while your computer is on and Murage is open. Murage Cloud, which will keep your team working with your computer off, isn’t open yet.

Can my staff use it too?

Yes. Each person runs Murage on their own computer, with their own AI sign-in. Build a team once, export it, and everyone imports the same bots, skills and routines; logins never travel. Bots can post drafts to your team’s Slack channels through connected apps, with your approval. Shared workspaces that run with your computer off will come with Murage Cloud, which isn’t open yet.

Control

Asks before acting

New bots start on Ask. On Full access, a bot stops before messaging anyone new, posting publicly, paying, or deleting outside its folder, unless you have allowed it for that task. Replies in an existing conversation go ahead on Auto and Full access. No limits turns the stop line off. On Claude Code and Codex, the stop line also covers tools from MCP servers you add. On Hermes and other ACP engines, Ask and the stop line cover only what the engine asks Murage about: Hermes asks before shell commands and file edits, but not before MCP or connected-app tools.

Checks with you before sensitive actions such as sending an email or making a purchase
