Meta's Muse agent looks a lot like OpenClaw under the hood, with 600K US daily users
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-09-25
Meta's new consumer agent Muse topped the App Store charts at launch, with an estimated 600,000 US daily active users per Apptopia, while agent platform Instinct raises at a $2.5B valuation. But users allege Muse is built on OpenClaw: both share identical core file names (SOUL.md, memory, etc.). If true, Meta's hit agent may be a repackaged open-source project.
