Why Instagram data may be Muse's ace over ChatGPT, Claude and even Gemini

Commenters argue Meta Muse's real edge for mainstream users is Instagram integration — effectively "IG search on steroids."
- Asked for trendy NYC bars, Muse returned on-the-ground reels from creators, something Google's popularity-based ranking and ChatGPT/Claude can't match
- IG's billions of niche-expert creators plus crowdsourced relevance form a multimodal data moat
- Only Gemini (via YouTube) could compete, but the author argues Google struggles to productize its basic agents, making tight YouTube integration unlikely
- Muse is already curating personalized feeds, and the author is spending more time in the app than expected
