Earlier this year, Mark Zuckerberg said that he is building an artificial intelligence agent to help him perform his duties as Meta CEO. But when the tech billionaire talks about what he uses his personal AI agent for, the examples are less about running a company and more about spending time with his family. From planning weekend baking sessions with his three-year-old daughter to securing mountain-climbing permits for his older daughter, Mark Zuckerberg says he wants his Muse AI agent to help him become a better father, husband and friend.“When I’m using my Muse Agent, I just want it to help me be a better father and a better husband and show up better for my friends,” Zuckerberg said during a recent interview on the Sources podcast.
Mark Zuckerberg uses Muse AI agent to plan baking with his daughter
Mark Zuckerberg said his three-year-old daughter enjoys baking, although he admitted he knows little about it. The tech billionaire said he asked Muse to arrange a baking project for them every weekend, choosing activities suitable for both a young child and an adult with limited baking experience.The agent is also tasked with organising the ingredients, including using services such as Instacart to get them ready before their Sunday baking session. The plan has not always gone smoothly. Zuckerberg said he later gives the agent feedback on how the activity went. One project, making cake pops, turned out to be surprisingly difficult.“Don’t start with cake pops,” Mark Zuckerberg joked while discussing the experience.

Mark Zuckerberg also uses Muse to help him spend time with his older daughter, who has become interested in climbing mountains. Some of the climbs require permits, which can become available at specific times. Zuckerberg said he has set up the agent to monitor and secure permits when they become available.Once Muse informs him that a permit has been obtained for a particular date, Zuckerberg can plan to take the day off work and go climbing with his daughter. He also uses the agent to support his fitness training. Mark Zuckerberg said he has installed cameras in his MMA gym and asks Muse to review the footage and provide feedback.At times, the feedback can be blunt. He recalled the agent telling him, “It looks like you really gave up,” after spotting a moment when he was exhausted during training.
