Google has rolled out a redesigned Google Arts & Culture mobile app featuring a visual-first conversational search, a unified discovery feed, expanded City Guide entries, and two new AI experiments — Chrono Look (virtual historical attire try‑on) and Dial‑an‑Artist (simulated conversations with historical artists). The update is available globally via Google Play and the Apple App Store.
Meta says every user of its Muse agent gets a free, full-featured cloud computer running an Ubuntu Linux image that can run software, compile code, and browse the web. Meta describes a “Muse Secure VM” architecture with a Runtime Cell (user workspace) and an external Sentinel that separates sensitive system components and stored credentials; the app reached over 500,000 users in its first week and topped the Apple App Store.
Instinct, an invite-only AI agent that uses iMessage and WhatsApp and connects to email, calendar and messaging, launched in private beta in February and is reportedly in talks to raise $1 billion on top of $350 million it has already raised, valuing the company at about $10 billion per The Information. A WIRED reporter who tested Instinct praised its conversational form factor and described successful tasks like booking restaurants and cancelling a flight to secure a $550 refund, while the piece also contrasts Instinct with other agents (Muse, Claude Cowork, Lindy) and notes privacy and security concerns.
Meta's new personal AI agent Muse reached over 500,000 users (about 250,000 daily active users) in its first week after launching in the US, with more than two million prompts entered and a #1 spot on Apple's App Store. Meta acknowledged Muse was "heavily inspired" by the open-source project OpenClaw after users found nearly identical file names and contents; Meta staff said they rebuilt the product at scale while borrowing design ideas.
