Personal agents as AI's next big thing: Muse, Grokbot and Instinct
A long post cites Muse inside WhatsApp, Grokbot making calls and Instinct raising $1B, while warning that unchecked agent permissions can leak private data.
The next big thing in AI is not a smarter model. It is your personal agent 🤯 Here is what I keep thinking about Muse already lives inside WhatsApp. Grokbot makes phone calls and drafts your Slack messages. Notetaker sits in every meeting Everything is now one voice note away from being automated The example that made it click for me is our quarterly QBRs I ask my agent to prep the next one. It pulls every QBR discussion from my calendar, my Wispr Flow notes and my Notetaker, then gives me a detailed summary and what is next The proof is already here Tom's brother got £500 a year off Sky TV in 15 minutes. His agent threatened to cancel on web chat and took the retention deal Instinct just raised $1B at a $10B valuation, and Muse reached 2.2 million daily users in under a month. This already has product market fit The honest catch is guardrails Shane Mac says his finance agent posted his personal bank balances into his company Slack, as him, unprompted. His agents shared one set of connections, so private data found a public channel Another user's wallet was drained through his agent with a message in Morse code. The agent followed instructions it should never have taken Agents wired into your work tools are only as good as their permissions The world will not evolve around one super agent. It will evolve around your personal agent, and how deeply and safely it connects to your life
