What Muse Connectors Are
Meta's Muse is a personal AI agent.
You connect your accounts, tell it what you want done, and it does it.
The connecting is the part that matters.
Out of the box, Muse can talk and browse. Connectors are what let it:
- monitor your inbox
- see your calendar
- pay for things
- act inside the apps you already use
Meta ships about a dozen connectors built in. It opened a directory for third-party connectors on September 18. And it can build a custom connector for almost anything with a public API.
This is the short list for parents: what to connect first, what each one is good for when you're running a household, and where the gaps are.
Still deciding whether Muse belongs in your stack at all? Start here:
Parendipity vs Muse
Last updated September 21, 2026. We'll keep this current as the directory fills in.
Start Here: Gmail and Google Calendar
Built in. Connect these two before anything else.
Gmail is where the school email lives:
- the practice schedule
- the picture-day reminder
- the field-trip form
- the coach's "small change to Thursday"
Once Muse monitors your inbox, it can pull dates out of those emails and put them on your calendar. With a standing instruction, it keeps doing that in the background.
Google Calendar is where everything else on this list meets.
Muse reads it to plan around your commitments. Other tools write to it.
If you only connect two things, connect these. Muse also supports Outlook if that's where your mail lives.
Haven't settled on a shared family calendar yet? That decision comes first.

For the Household: Parendipity
Parendipity is the coordination layer for the household.
Muse is your agent. It works inside your accounts, for you. The moment a task involves another adult, it stops.
It can tell you practice moved to Thursday. It can't:
- hand Thursday pickup to your spouse
- get a yes from the neighbor who covers Tuesdays
- ask your mom to take Saturday
Those people don't have Muse. Some of them don't have accounts anywhere.
Parendipity is built for exactly that half. It monitors your inbox for school and practice changes and knows what a practice schedule, a game day, and a pickup change are without being told. What it finds lands in a command center both parents see.
From there it runs the week:
- the weekly planner lays out every ride, task, and gap in one view
- coverage requests go down your caregiver list, first yes wins
- carpools run across households, and the neighbors accept from a link
- both parents see the same plan, so nobody relays anything
Assign any ride or task to anyone. No account required. Your spouse, your mom, the neighbor. They get a link with the details and they tap it.
Then it writes the plan to your Google Calendar. So Muse knows Thursday pickup is yours the same way it knows about your dentist. No connector needed. The calendar is where they meet.
Priced per household, not per person.

For Paying for Things: Plaid and Link by Stripe
Built in.
Plaid lets Muse see your accounts and card activity. That's how it spots the double charge or tells you the camp deposit cleared.
Link by Stripe is how Muse pays. It uses a one-time card number, so the site never sees your real one, and it asks before it spends.
Good for:
- registration fees
- the birthday-party deposit
- the thing you forgot to order for the science fair
Turn on approvals for anything over a number you're comfortable with. Shop Pay is coming.
For Date Night and the Team Dinner: OpenTable
Built in.
"Book somewhere for six on Saturday near the field, kid-friendly, before 6."
That's exactly the kind of multi-constraint errand Muse is good at and you never have time for. It finds, books, and puts it on the calendar.
For Tickets: Ticketmaster
Built in.
Muse can search, hold, and buy.
Useful for the game or the show. More useful for price-tracking something you'd buy at the right number but won't sit and refresh for.
For Your Own Health: Apple Health, Peloton, Function Health
Built in.
These are about you, not the kids. That's the point.
Muse can see your training and adjust a plan, or notice you haven't slept and say so.
Parents don't usually put this first. It's on the list because a household runs on the adults not falling apart.
For the House Itself: Home Assistant
Custom connector.
If you already run Home Assistant, Muse can connect to it and handle lights, locks, and thermostats on request.
Skip this one if you don't already have it. It's not worth setting up for Muse alone.
Connected by Default: Facebook, Instagram, Threads
Muse reads your saved posts and messages from Meta's own apps.
The useful parent version: turning a saved Instagram recipe or activity into an actual list, which Meta demoed at launch.
Otherwise, leave it.
What's Missing for Parents
No native connector for TeamSnap, GameChanger, or the other youth-sports apps.
Muse can sign in through a browser session as you and pull schedules that way. But it's a workaround, not a connection, and it breaks when the site changes. If your kid's league runs on one of these, expect to check its work.
No native connector for the school portal. Same story: browser fallback, and every district's portal is different.
And no way to reach another adult.
Every connector on this list acts on your accounts. None of them lets Muse:
- assign something to your spouse
- ask the neighbor for a favor
- get a sitter to say yes
That's the gap Parendipity covers above. It's the one that shows up most in a week.

Muse is very good at your week. It was never built for your household.
Start your free 30 days of Parendipity and give it the other half.
How to Add a Custom Connector
- Give Muse the name of the service and a link to its API docs or MCP server.
- Ask it to build and save the connection.
- Answer its questions about how to sign in.
- Hand it credentials through the secure prompt, not in the chat.
- Test it in a fresh conversation.
Meta doesn't review custom connectors. Only connect services you'd trust with the same access you're giving Muse.
Pricing
Muse is free with weekly usage limits.
The $20 and $100 tiers buy more usage, not more features. Meta expects most people to stay on free.
It's priced per person. Two parents on the paid tier is $40 a month before anything about the household is coordinated.
US-only and 18+ for now.
Final Thoughts
Connect Gmail and Google Calendar and Muse will handle a real share of your own admin.
Then notice what's left. Every connector on this list acts inside one person's accounts. Your household doesn't run inside one person's accounts. It runs on who's driving, who's covering, who said yes, what next week looks like, and whether both of you can see it.
That's what Parendipity does. It catches the changes, builds the week, runs the coverage and the carpools, and puts all of it in front of both parents. And it can hand any of it to anyone, whether or not they've ever installed an app.
Your agent runs your week. Parendipity runs the household.
