What the press is saying about Meta’s personal AI agent.

Meta open-sourced Muse Gadgets — ESP32 firmware, a Linux SDK, and docs under Apache 2.0 — so developers can build custom peripherals (screens, buttons, sensors) on off-the-shelf boards. Its own Muse Home Link, a USB-C gadget that lets Muse control smart TVs and speakers, is going free to 5,000 active US subscribers. — TheJOAI
Muse can now browse and complete checkouts across partner retailers — Walmart, Gap, Sephora — with Meta taking a small fee per transaction and an approval card before every charge. Amazon has blocked Muse from buying on its site, citing credential-storage and scraping concerns. — Complete AI Training
Christian Fraser hosts Ed Zitron and Ben Hatton debating whether Muse is a helpful personal agent or a data-hungry trojan horse — with the panel split on whether the critics have actually used the product. — BBC News / YouTube
Announced at Connect: Muse comes to AI glasses within months — activate by name, act on what you see — plus improved voice, more service connections (Instacart, Notion, GitHub, Box), a dedicated email address, and Muse Charm, a pocket-sized device. — AI Market Watch
OpenAI announced Dots AI, its rival personal agent, targeting Pro and business users — while Sensor Tower estimates put Muse at ~5M downloads in the US and Canada within 22 days of launch, faster than ChatGPT’s early climb. — OpenAIMaster
Patrick Wardle (Objective-See) disclosed an undocumented macOS dictation setting that let any local process redirect Muse’s dictation traffic and steal account tokens — no remote exploit needed. Meta removed the setting from production builds about 12 hours after publication. — DeafNews / Ars Technica
