Analyst predicts Meta will pay Amazon for agent access, spawning a new agent business model
signulll · x · 2026-09-21
- The author predicts the Meta/Amazon standoff over Muse will likely end in a revenue-sharing deal: Meta pays Amazon for agent access, with Facebook willing to eat short-term costs to make Muse relevant.
- That could become the first real business model for agents on large platforms: paying for access, sharing data, and possibly per-user or per-agent fees.
- Caveat: if every major platform charges agents for access, only companies at enormous scale can afford truly general agents, creating big moats for incumbents.
