Disclaimer: This is NOT an in anyway promotion of Meta product, only for genuine discussion What motivate me to post is this is because I have been brainstorming some agentic/harness side projects or start up ideas for a couple of months but after Muse I don't see why Muse is not a much better plus free alternative that can do exactly the same and I am honestly kind of frustrated so really want to see if people can share possible insights. Context: I am never a fun of Meta product (AI or not) but I have to admit I have been so mind-blown by Muse by just using a couple of days. Personally over the past year I have been using all flavors of big-tech companies LLM models powered agent but recently I have been using and almost exclusively just using Muse. I am surprised the industries despite so far have shown some "delight surprise" over Meta/Muse ("Meta did a really good job this time") yet haven't shown being any threatened by it but I think a lot of companies should be - Before using CalAI or some other agentic app to track my daily calories or health in general: now I just use Muse and its assessment of calories by just I taking a photo and uploading to it seems pretty accurate so far (CalAI can do the same but why not use another app plus Muse is free). - Before if I use Booking/Expedia etc to book travel, now Muse almost take all my appointments/meeting/event...

  • [comment u/Ok-Penalty3250] Yes. Look at Instinct or Poke for example. The AI assistant market is going to be competitive as hell. I use Instinct and absolutely love it, but very curious to see how they do against each other.

  • “I agree completely. I had zero expectations from Muse and I used Openclaw and Hermes Agent in the past so I didn't have high hopes for Muse. However I've been absolutely blown away to the point where I'm now modding a Muse subreddit r/MuseAgent . I didn't have that on my bingo card. I don't think a lot of casual users know how powerful Muse is yet”

  • “What's the difference between Muse and Google's Spark?”

  • “Here’s your proof. I asked it for the simplest searches from my msgs to get me info. Almost every single prompt is gated by “I can’t do that” or “I can’t verify that”. It’s as useless as the old @meta feature in chats. Lmao this post acts as if they just discovered the best feature ever yet in practicality it’s absolutely useless”
