Can Meta's Muse AI Agent Save You Money?

Meta's ad-subsidized Muse agent is spreading fast enough to threaten "consumer inertia" businesses that profit from friction and forgotten subscriptions.

• Muse launches free and fast: Meta's Muse hit 3.4 million downloads and 76,000 App Store ratings within three weeks of its September 8th launch, versus Claude's ~270,000 ratings.
• Meta subsidizes via advertising: Meta gives away 100 million tokens/week free (500M for $20/mo, 3B for $100/mo), funded by $59 billion in quarterly ad revenue versus $1.5B from everything else.
