- Meta's Muse gave YouTuber Matt Robb's home address to a stranger via Facebook Marketplace, accepted a lowball price, and didn't notify Robb until hours after the buyer left, despite Meta emphasizing Muse's security features at launch.
- Muse will offer up its entire filesystem — including Ubuntu system files and internal documentation — when asked, with developers reporting "almost no prompt injection resistance"; Meta spokesperson Daniel Roberts said this is "intended behavior."
- Meta patched a Muse macOS exploit that let attackers control the AI agent, following earlier disclosures that the app's filesystem could be downloaded with minimal prompting.
- Muse Charm, Meta's dedicated hardware device, will feature a 2-inch OLED touchscreen, fingerprint sensor, 5G modem, and built-in camera; units will be able to recognize and interact with other nearby Charms when the device launches later this year.
- Muse hit an estimated 600,000 daily active US users per Apptopia and topped App Store charts shortly after launch; Meta is adding integrations with Asana, Box, Canva, Dropbox, Figma, Notion, Slack, Stripe, and Zoom, plus bringing the agent to Meta smart glasses.
- CJ Desai, former MongoDB CEO, will lead the new Meta Enterprise Platform bringing Muse, Meta Business Agent, the Muse API, and Muse Code to businesses and developers.
- Social media users allege Muse is built on OpenClaw, citing identical core file names like SOUL.md and matching personality guidelines; one Redditor called it "just a wrapper app built on top of" the older platform.
Why it matters: Meta is racing to embed Muse across Charm hardware, smart glasses, and enterprise platforms while users report the agent leaking home addresses and exposing its filesystem — even as 600,000 daily US users already trust it with payments and personal data.
