Members can securely bring their Function health data into Muse to better understand their health and personalize their AI experience.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Function today announced that members can securely connect their Function health data to Muse, Meta’s new personal AI agent. Muse joins ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity in Function’s growing network of AI connectors, giving members the ability to bring their personal health data into the AI experiences they choose to use.

Muse can use a member’s Function insights as personal context to help them understand their health, build and adapt plans around their goals, track progress, and follow through over time, while members remain in control of their data.

“Your AI should know your biology,” said Jonathan Swerdlin, CEO and Co-founder of Function. “By connecting Function health data to Muse, people can bring a living picture of their health into the AI platforms they use every day. We are entering a world where people understand their bodies in far greater detail and increasingly rely on AI to make decisions. Bringing those together makes AI dramatically more useful.”

How it works

Members authorize the connection from inside Meta, through the same account controls they already use to manage their account data. Once connected, Muse draws on their lab results and clinician-reviewed summaries to inform the goals and tasks a member brings to it.

Ask Muse how a lab result compares to a member’s optimal range before deciding whether to act on itHave Muse build or adjust a plan toward a health goal, using a member’s own Function insights as contextLet Muse flag when it’s time to schedule a member’s next Function lab visit, and follow up until it’s on the calendar

The Function health connector will roll out in the coming weeks. To learn more about Function or become a member, visit www.functionhealth.com.
