WIRED tested Meta's AI agent Muse: the app was downloaded over 900,000 times in the first week. The agent can order food and find items on Facebook Marketplace, but pushes email and bank account connections, and user data is used for model training by default.

• Muse downloaded over 900,000 times in the first week
• Agent ordered breakfast and found sofas on Facebook Marketplace
• Memory of preferences stored in a Memory document without opt-out
