Show notes
In this episode, we discuss Meta's new personal AI agent Muse, its early adoption numbers, and its escalating fight with Amazon after the retailer blocked the Muse AI agent from shopping on its site. We break down Amazon's complaints about permission, transparency, and privacy, the ad revenue stakes behind the standoff, and how Meta's new connectors, its retail partners like Walmart, Best Buy, and Shopify merchants, and Stripe's Link checkout could shape the future of agentic AI commerce. We also examine Muse's app store rankings, download estimates from Sensor Tower and Appfigures, mixed early reviews, and Meta's security design, including the Muse Secure VM, the Sentinel agent, and the promised Confidential VM. Finally, we look at the three tests that will decide whether AI agents like Meta's Muse prove useful, safe, and allowed to do real work on services Meta doesn't control.
