Federico Viticci unpacks the hidden complexity inside Meta Muse
Muse is simple and fast by default, but users can install custom CLIs in its VM under /workspace/tools and inspect logs of tool calls and browser actions, serving both casual and power users.
Meta's Muse app is a fascinating case study in hiding complexity in AI tools. The app is very simple and fast by default. But if you poke around, you can install custom CLIs in its VM (under a /workspace/tools folder) and inspect its entire log of tools calls. Complex searches can also run for several minutes. All browser searches can be inspected, and you can check the actions performed by browser use and how they were evaluated. I think what @alexandr_wang and team did right here is making Muse very capable for "normal people" who have no idea that AI "can just do things" now, while also letting power users like us tinker with it and take a look at what goes on under the hood. I'm VERY interested to see how OpenAI responds to this (and Grok Bot) with their upcoming "o" agent and how consumer-friendly they can make it.
