Austin, Texas -- September 8, 2026 -- Function members can now securely connect their personal health data to Muse, Meta's newly launched personal AI agent, the company announced.

Muse joins ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity in Function's expanding network of AI connectors, letting members feed their lab results and health insights directly into the AI tools they already use daily.

Muse can turn lab results into actionable health plans

Once connected, Muse draws on a member's Function lab results and clinician-reviewed summaries to inform goals and tasks. Members can ask Muse how a specific lab result compares to their optimal range, have it build or adjust a plan toward a health goal using their own data as context, or let it flag and follow up when it's time to schedule the next Function lab visit.
