Muse is Meta’s assistant. Ordaily is yours, and it’s here.

No. When we checked on 30 October 2026, Meta’s Muse was available only in the US, Canada, Japan and Singapore, and Meta has not said when it is coming to South Africa, the rest of Africa or Europe. Ordaily is a PA for your admin, in WhatsApp, that you can use in South Africa today. It sorts your email, drafts replies in your voice, books your meetings, keeps your reminders and sends you a morning briefing, and nothing goes out without your yes.

A local PA that launched alongside a global giant

Meta launched Muse in the US in September 2026. Ordaily opened its paid plans in South Africa in October 2026. Same season, different promise: Muse is Meta’s agent for everyday life in the countries it has reached so far. Ordaily is a PA for your admin, in WhatsApp, built in Cape Town for people who run a business, a practice or a busy household here.

What Ordaily does better for you here

  • It is here, now

    You can sign up in South Africa today and pay in rand, with no waiting for a launch date that has not been announced.

  • Private catch ups of your WhatsApp groups

    On Lite Plus and up, add Ordaily’s group number (it’s different from the number you chat with) to the class, club or committee group and ask what you missed. It sends you a private catch up, alerts you when someone tags you or writes your full name, and never posts anything in the group. It only sees messages from after it joined.

  • Nothing goes out without your yes

    Every email and invite is shown on a card first. Say yes and it goes. Change your mind and you have 30 seconds to undo.

  • A briefing that sounds like a PA

    A morning briefing of your day as text, or as a voice note once you’ve opened the chat that day.

  • School emails into your calendar

    Forward or paste a school email into your Ordaily chat. It spots the date (one date per email) and adds it to your calendar on your yes.

  • Built for business owners and busy professionals

    Your inbox sorted into urgent, priority, must read and FYI, replies drafted in your own voice, and meetings booked, moved and cancelled with proper invites.

  • Built for POPIA

    Hosted in Johannesburg, built for South Africa’s privacy law, and your content is never used to train AI.

What Muse does that Ordaily doesn’t (yet)

  • Errands

    Muse shops, books travel and fills out forms on websites. Ordaily does not do errands, shopping, travel or forms.

  • Photos and PDFs

    Ordaily does not read photos or PDFs yet. Send it text, a voice note or a forwarded email.

  • A free plan

    Muse is free for most of what people need. Ordaily has no free plan: Lite starts at R299 a month.

  • Glasses

    Meta says Muse is coming to its AI glasses. Ordaily lives in WhatsApp only.

  • Scale

    Muse is built by Meta, one of the biggest companies in the world. Ordaily is a South African company, built in Cape Town.
