Google is introducing a new experience on Android to help users safely and easily move passwords and passkeys between password managers in just a few clicks—no file downloads required.

Meta is introducing Muse, a secure, private personal AI agent that proactively helps with people's goals and suggests ideas. The agent runs on Muse Secure VM, a dedicated virtual machine that houses both the agent and a person's data. Muse is designed around existing communication patterns, working like messaging another person through the Muse app or directly in WhatsApp.
People tell Muse what needs to get done, and it takes action, powered by Muse Spark, Meta's most capable model to date, built for real-world agentic work.
How It Works

Meta AI can now make plans, follow through on next steps, and keep you on track without needing to be...
