Threads may soon have a Muse assistant built in. App researcher Jane Manchun Wong reported on X that Threads is working on an in-app Muse assistant integration, sharing a screenshot of the Threads interface with the feature in place. RuntimeWire wrote up the finding the same day.
Wong’s post also names two other features in development for Threads: a Trending Topics row that scrolls horizontally like a stock ticker, and profile cover images that also appear on a user’s home page. The screenshot shows a cover image at the top of a profile, a “Trending now” ticker row, and a feed post below, with a “Meta and Muse” topic link underneath.
Still Unreleased
Meta has not announced a Muse assistant for Threads, and Wong gave no release date. Her findings come from unreleased features visible in the app, which can change or never ship. For now, the only evidence is Wong’s post and screenshot.
A Threads assistant would follow the pattern Meta has set since Muse launched in September: putting the agent where people already spend time. Muse already works inside WhatsApp, where delegating a task is as simple as sending a message, and the company has said it is bringing Muse to its smart glasses.

Why Threads Matters for Muse
Threads gives Muse a ready-made audience. Meta reports 500 million monthly users, and the daily habit is already there: an assistant inside the feed would let people hand off tasks without leaving the app they are scrolling.
Meta added Spaces, custom experiences built from a description, on November 6, a day after Muse Voice opened real-time voice and video chats to everyone in the US.
