Meta has released Muse, a new AI image generator developed by its Meta Superintelligence Labs division. The tool, internally known as Mango, is available for free through the Meta AI app, Instagram Stories, and WhatsApp. Muse offers users the ability to generate a variety of images, including cartoonish and whimsical designs, as well as pre-set prompts to inspire creativity. The tool also includes a feature allowing users to manipulate public Instagram images using AI, which has raised privacy concerns. The company claims users can disable this feature if they prefer.

Muse has additional applications, such as creating custom ads and visualizing interior design ideas, which can be integrated with Facebook Marketplace. The tool also supports prompt-based image editing, enabling users to modify photos for sharing across Meta’s platforms. Examples include generating images of a user in front of historical landmarks or removing photobombers from photos. Meta is also launching new AI effects for Instagram Stories, supported by Muse, including customizable filters for modifying existing photos. The company states that Muse is free for everyday use but may require subscription plans for advanced features. Source: techcrunch
