What people report when they use these things rather than watch them demonstrated: what degrades under load, what finishes without being chased, and where the gap between one product and the next actually is.

A few things I like about Muse vs. single-threaded agents on iMessage or WhatsApp 👇 - Rich library of Connectors available in-app - I imagine these will be more reliable than browser use - Can set up Goals connected to this data + attach Artifacts to them to visualize progress

The most painful consumer experience for the Instinct vs. Muse is creating new vaults & building context from scratch. Some of this is solved by the 1Password product integration on the vault side, but context is still a pain in the butt. Once you set up a personal assistant and build context, switching costs are incredibly painful. You have to be aggressive & win the market now if you're both companies (and all other companies will inevitably compete incl. Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) Will be the industry defining product war of 2026 as we close the year.

Introducing our Trusted Person network powered by our new Instinct-to-Instinct communication protocol. Your Instinct can now talk to other Instincts to coordinate plans on your behalf. Getting people together often involves a lot of back-and-forth: finding a time, working out the details, and following up when plans change. Instincts can now work with each other to help handle that coordination. For example: - Coordinating plans with your spouse - Planning a weekend trip with friends, including dates and arrival times - Scheduling time with colleagues and other collaborators - Hosting events with 10s or 100s of people - Organizing recurring plans like tennis, book clubs, or weekly dinners Disclaimer: Your Instinct will only be able to communicate with those in your Trusted Person network. This is the group of people who are closest to you: - Spouse - Older children and parents - Colleagues and trusted professional relationships - Small local businesses The Trusted Person network is currently available to our early access group and will be slowly rolled out across the user base over the next 24-48 hours.

I still feel like the UI is a bit cluttered + there’s a few too many things to do + places to click And I’m not sold on every product needing a Feed! But, this could be one of the first true mainstream consumer agents to get adoption

Morocco travel tip: rename your Instinct to Mohamed and show vendors what your “Moroccan friend” says is a fair price

TLDR on the AI assistants clawing their way into the sf tech mindshare: Instinct - VC darling, shipping tons of integrations with 1Password, Stripe Link, location sharing, and agents having their own email address. People are asking for voice access as the next feature. Contained in iMessage for easy use. Extremely slow in the past week due to increased demand. Grok Bot - needs paid Cursor or SuperGrok access. Higher barrier to use but the team is keen on getting early adopters in the door. I’ll explore its capabilities this week. Town - aggressively sending me emails on what’s going on in my inbox. So far quicker responses over iMessage compared to Instinct, and can be added to group chats. Unsure when it will become paid or when I will run out of tokens. This would make me churn from their ecosystem. Muse - Facebook’s AI assistant that launched 6 hours ago. Needs a separate app to download. Has historical context of my Facebook and Instagram accounts. Curious to see if Muse will use my data to sell me more ads. This will make their product less appealing to consumers if we’re just being data farmed for their cash cow business.

I’d probably pay ~$5-10k per month for instinct based on my experience so far. Highly proactive and thinks multiple steps ahead. Kind of like a chief of staff or highly skilled EA with an MBA.

1/ What is actually different about @openclaw vs. $Instinct / @Muse ? Other than the latter being "OpenClaw for normal people" with no setup required? 2/ What happened to all the Claws people built earlier this year, and why are Instinct/Muse getting traction now? 3/ Why did it take ~6-9 months after @openclaw for this new batch of personal agents to suddently show up? 4/ If GPT/Claude get payments + credentials + better computer use, do they just become the personal agent? A few takes I've heard: - OpenClaw hype faded partly because people went back to $GPT/ $Claude for many daily tasks. Better models >> end-to-end execution. - A lot of productivity Claws - daily podcast summaries, monitoring, etc. - ppl thought would boost productivity, but it's not perfect/ doesn't do a good job. - Better computer use may have crossed a reliability threshold, making agent workflows meaningfully smoother. Curious what others think. [I've used, and still use, most of the agentic products above.]

Mark Zuckerberg talks about how he is using Meta’s newly released Muse agent. something much closer to a persistent personal worker than a chatbot. helping his 3-year-old daughter likes baking, monitor when mountain climbing permits become available and secure them for their weekend trips, and also for physical training.. He installed cameras in his MMA gym and has Muse watch the footage and give him feedback on his performance. Zuckerberg gives it ongoing goals and projects, and the agent can continue working on them, remember what happened, and proactively suggest what it should do next. ---- From "Sources Podcast and @alexeheath YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)

Instinct has changed my consumer shopping preferences and has made it really easy to expand the brands/retailers I buy from. I have had a few problems with this in the past, which Instinct has solved. More in the 🧵

muse has been a genuinely impressive product to play with. it has all of the functionality of the imessage agents in flight today but also has all of the ingredients that will expose it to hundreds of millions including a massive friend graph through insta, increasingly rich context from email & other services which you connect, & more importantly stuff like fb marketplace. marketplace in particular is an incredible distribution wedge. millions of normal people could encounter muse simply cuz an agent helps them find something, negotiate the price, & arrange pickup. pretty good execution here from fb.

Might have found a killer use for Meta Muse I use the HECK out of Marketplace (I know my GPU brethren also must). Sure Hermes can also do this, but if Muse is doing it it's got integrated access and no risk of being banned.

Pro-tip: ask your Muse to organize your IG saves for you
