Meta's Muse AI agent hits 560,000 daily users, lifts stock 11%

Summary · why it matters

Meta's Muse AI agent has reached 560,000 daily active users just 11 days after launch, according to market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, sending Meta stock up 11% on Monday. The app has claimed the top spot on both Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store. Unlike rival agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Amazon, Muse is focused on the consumer market, handling tasks such as sending emails, organizing schedules, and shopping on a user's behalf. In testing, Muse completed multi-step tasks including a Nintendo Switch 2 game purchase, gathering moving-company quotes, booking a restaurant through OpenTable, and managing a Yahoo Fantasy Football lineup, though it was slower than manual ordering and hallucinated a fake phone number for a local restaurant. Meta's ability to convert Muse into a major AI win may hinge on convincing users to trust it with personal data, given the company's history of privacy criticism, including a $5 billion FTC settlement in 2019 and a recent social media addiction case settled with state attorneys general for upwards of $17 billion.

IBM Brings z17 Mainframe to Marist University AI Incubator

IBM has placed its z17 mainframe at Marist University's new Innovation Incubator, sending shares up about 2.2% to $236.55 Wednesday morning from Tuesday's $231.38 close. Marist plans to test autonomous marketing agents and explore AI applications in polling, and researchers are also scoping a project that would use quantum optimization to build portfolio allocations. IBM provided the machine for students and faculty to develop and test applications, and its announcement gives no dollar value for the system or revenue forecast for the collaboration. The stock still sat 2.59% below its $242.84 GF Value estimate, a gap that gives investors a valuation reference but that the campus project alone does not close. The investor case here takes patience, since getting future developers comfortable with IBM's technology could pay off if their work reaches enterprise customers, but the z17 at Marist shows where IBM wants its platform used rather than what customers will pay for the applications that emerge.

Insurers Rise After Insurify Blocks Meta's Muse From Its Marketplace

Insurance stocks that had been hurt by the early popularity of Meta's Muse turned higher after online insurance marketplace Insurify blocked the personal AI agent from accessing its comparison shopping platforms. Allstate was trading 0.53% higher at $230.71 during afternoon trading on Wednesday, while Progressive rose 0.80% to $208.60, Travelers gained 1.37% to $366.97, Hanover Insurance added 1.37% to $221.40, and Chubb was up 0.51% to $337.48. Insurify said it blocked Muse to protect both consumers and its carrier partners, arguing that automated scraping by AI agents risks stripping carrier quotes of critical contextual information such as coverage limits, deductibles, discounts, eligibility conditions, and state-required disclosures, presenting them instead as a bare price list. The marketplace added that bulk quoting by automated agents may raise costs for carriers, since each quote request can trigger paid data checks whether or not a real shopper is behind it. "A quote without its context is not a fair comparison. It is a number," said Insurify Co-CEO Giorgos Zacharia, adding that the company supports AI agents that improve insurance shopping but that they must preserve the information and consumer control needed for an informed decision.

Chamath Palihapitiya Warns Amazon Blocking Meta's Muse AI Signals Wider Agent Battle

Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya warned that Amazon.com's decision to block Meta Platforms' AI shopping assistant Muse could signal a broader battle over how AI agents interact with online platforms. In a Monday post on X, Palihapitiya said the dispute highlights a larger problem with the development of AI agents, calling their behavior "still quite naive" and saying it amplifies issues around strategy and long-term competitiveness, adding, "I suspect everyone will start blocking everyone shortly. Plan accordingly." His comments followed Amazon's blocking of Meta's Muse AI shopping assistant from accessing its platform, with users seeing a message saying the agent violated Amazon's Conditions of Use. Meta and Shopify teamed up to bring AI-powered shopping and checkout to Muse, allowing users to shop across Shopify-powered stores and complete purchases through Shop Pay, a partnership touted by Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Muse had climbed to No. 1 among free apps on Apple's U.S. App Store but was later blocked by Amazon from shopping on its platform over privacy, security and transparency concerns.
