AI Agents
Explained for parents by The Digital Childhood.
What it means
An AI that doesn't just answer you, it does things for you, like sending emails, buying things or booking stuff, once you connect it to your accounts. Meta's Muse came out in September 2026 and it's one of them. Most of these are for adults only, and Muse is 18 and up, but kids hear about them and some will want to try one on a parent's login.
How to bring it up with your kid
"If an app ever asks to connect to your email, a store account or my card, stop and come get me first. And never sign into one with my login, even just to try it."

That email doesn’t look right.
