Meta's Muse can help you browse. What does it ask in return?
In a hands-on review, Reece Rogers found Meta's Muse useful for web browsing and shopping help. He also saw repeated requests to connect sensitive data. Its memory and training settings raise a privacy question; Meta disputes the review's negative reading.
What the source reports
WIRED's Reece Rogers tried Meta's Muse, a personal AI tool that can browse the web and help with shopping. He found real utility in those tasks. He also reports repeated prompts to connect sensitive personal data. His account says editable memory stays on, and use of data for model training is on by default unless users turn it off in the controls. Meta disputes his negative reading of the product. The review describes both completed browsing tasks and requests for sensitive data. It also points to the settings that control use of that data. This is one reporter's hands-on review, not a study of every user or every personal AI tool.
