#Muse

Three weeks after launch, Meta's Muse AI agent has gathered millions of downloads and become a romantic partner for some users. Cybersecurity experts warn of blackmail risks due to the bot's access to personal data.

Meta has released open-source SDKs and code enabling users to build custom AI gadgets powered by the Muse agent on ESP32 and Raspberry Pi boards, alongside the Home Link device.

Journalist claims Meta's Muse AI accessed his private messages. The company denies this, labeling the AI's explanation as an error and emphasizing macOS security features.

Meta's AI app Muse reached 642,000 daily active users in the US within its first 12 days, compared to 231,000 for ChatGPT at a comparable stage. Apptopia analysts attribute the success to a cross-promotion strategy within the Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp ecosystem.
