Meta Muse pitch revives the question: will personal AI agents get real permission controls or just one big Allow button?
yi111 · reddit · 2026-09-21
A Reddit discussion sparked by Meta's Muse personal agent pitch: it can handle email, calendars, and shopping—but that's essentially the keys to your entire digital life.
The poster draws a clear line: let an agent search flights, organize the inbox, and build a shopping cart, but irreversible actions like sending emails, booking, or completing purchases should always require confirmation. The open question is whether ordinary users will get meaningful, granular permission controls or just a single giant "Allow" button. The thread debates trust boundaries and what tasks users would delegate autonomously.
