Every Marriott commercial during football reminds me we've all been saying it wrong. It rhymes with chariot. I've been saying it wrong my entire life.

What’s really interesting about Muse is that it doesn’t seem to have many limitations. It figures out how to get things done, even if that means logging into a website. The built-in password manager and wallet are brilliant. It makes Muse feel like an extension of you.

Meta took something super complex and made it genuinely useful for everyday people. I get the appeal of Muse.

But the irony isn’t lost on me: after years of trying to claw our data back from Meta, we’re handing it over again.

I want to believe. I just wonder: what’s the catch?

@stetsondoggett Haven't tried it yet because I'm kind of confused as to how to get access. Is it free? Is it separate from X?

[Rich DeMuro @richontech]

Really struggling with Muse vs. Dots. Muse feels more capable and like a cleaner personal assistant. Dots plugs into the ChatGPT tools and plugins I already use, but it’s confusing: when do I ask ChatGPT vs. Dots? Still figuring out which one I like better

Did Face ID take a little step back with iPhone 18 Pro? I feel like I’m always putting my passcode in

If you haven't played with Meta's Muse AI app, it's pretty incredible. It's basically like an AI assistant armed with a web browser that can connect to your apps and do stuff for you. It's actually very personable too.

Here's the latest episode of my podcast. Take a listen. Let me know what you think.

@davidhsherman13 Basically how AI commands are broken down for the computer to read so one token might be a couple of characters... Most of the consumer AI services don't really talk in that term so yeah it's probably worth an explanation

@AdamJMatlock Give it the latest Snapdragon process and I'd be team pixel all day long

[Rich DeMuro @richontech]

@davidhsherman13 I think most people will start with a free plan and then they can investigate if they need anything above and beyond that
