Nat Friedman says Muse, though built from scratch, was heavily inspired as a product by openclaw. After trying openclaw in January he bought hundreds of Mac minis for the MSL team, and credits steipete's pioneering harness. Muse's goal: an openclaw-like personal agent that's safe, secure, easy to use, and scalable to billions.
