Muse by Meta

“the way they developed and launched Muse was really well done in terms of both functionality and transparency”

“One use case I've been having a lot of success with is using Muse's browser use capabilities to cut through annoying web UIs.”

“Meta claimed that Muse would not access your messages without you granting it the second permission, even after your granted it the first.”

“Meta has been consistently predatory, reckless, and creepy with user data before, and that this is a very aggressive expansion of that.”

“It runs in an isolated sandboxed VM separate from stored credentials etc; this is effectively your own computer.”

“The model is decent and cheap under contributor version but no way I’m letting meta AI anywhere near anything that matters in my life.”

“I think they did a pretty bang up job with Muse (the lack of communication with first-time agent users around how powerfully and confidently they can make horrifying mistakes”

“Meta is actively encouraging users to grant them full permission, insisting with all their marketing might that it's safe”

“Muse is free and also captured people's attention through making it a bit more streamlined.”

“The appropriate use of Muse is to use it for (a) non-personal queries and (b) never connect it to any sources of personal info.”

“pretty obviously designed -whether intentionally or not- to enable the exfiltration of a ton of sensitive data to untrusted third parties”

“it's a really nice implementation of a personal assistant. It genuinely feels great and makes me want to use it!”

“the way that Meta has put all the pieces together including security works really well in practice”

“It's the most consistent and user friendly agent with the ability to also be a harness for multiple custom agents.”

“Products like muse and dots are attractive when they have a free tier but someone always needs to pay the bill.”

“I have not been hit with any usage limit messages and was able to build a simple iPhone app with it”

“Dots and Muse both utilize a secure password store that can hold and enter credentials without exposing them to the model.”

“Muse is totally free. It doesn't throw up gauntlet messages to use it like GPT does even for paying members.”

“The gesture based UX, nested board, PDF reader, and transclusion of PDF fragments are all interesting ideas.”

“It's the best free vps on the market right now. Comes with a coding harness and a few hundred million tokens on a decent model.”

“You can ask Meta Muse to take actions that clearly break other site's terms of service and it happily does it.”

“Muse helped me make progress on my go-to-market plan, drafted me a script for my demo video”

“Muse is incredibly popular. They're in the middle of a tour right now, too. Just saw them live two weekends ago.”

“People dont even trust meta with their personal data anymore but somehow they'll use it to run every aspect of their lives?”

“just naming any restaurant in town gets me an accurate list of recommendations with costs and descriptions”

“IMO it's the first main openclaw-like product that has made it to the "just works" level of usability.”

“That it's offered by Facebook - the "we will never has ads ads are for losers" company promising security and privacy today”

“I've been alpha testing muse and there's precisely one area it's useful in.... Finding things on Facebook marketplace and haggling for me lol”

“it was not easy to mentally give that access, but then I heard from friends how much work was put in into securing it”

“It's fine. It's like base-level GPT or Gemini. I actually kinda like the cute thing it does where it emoji reacts to your messages”

“it's probably my favorite mobile LLM experience so far across Claude and ChatGPT and Gemini”

“it dug through all of the SAS emails and actually found the emails confirming that the food fees were reimbursed”

“you wouldn't want it to send them all of your photos or to purchase things you don't want”

“consumer technology is already solved, but companies like Meta are trying to jam AI technology into something that solves the non-problems”

“having it Just Work in a remote, fully managed client for free is extremely convenient and useful”

“If there is one company that I'd never ever use for running a personal agent, that would be Meta.”

“The schedule your tennis lessons and do your travel package list scenarios are of course rubbish.”

“Literally none of these examples are improved by this kind of personal AI agent; on the contrary, it means letting your agency be dictated by companies that do not have your interests in mind.”

“The best selling point is an end-to-end purchase flow that you don't have think about at all”

“It's not a bad product idea, but adoption might be rough because of all the negative goodwill that Meta has accumulated over the years.”
