Meta Muse's 900K downloads in six days threaten the friction economy
The author argues Muse automates zero-trust tasks like canceling dormant subscriptions and auditing bills, so businesses profiting from customer inertia will lose margins first.
Meta Muse hitting 900,000 downloads in six days is an existential threat to corporate business models built on customer lethargy. Trillions in enterprise value rely on friction: forgotten subscriptions, low-yield cash, and auto-renewing insurance. 60% of Americans waste over $26.79 every month on dormant services simply because re-shopping takes human effort. While 53% of consumers still refuse to let agents make purchases autonomously, canceling a dormant sub or auditing a bill requires zero trust. Agents do not get tired or resigned. When administrative friction drops to zero, companies monetizing human laziness lose their margins first. https://yellow.com/news/friction-economy-ai-agents
