Redditor Questions Muse, the #1 Downloaded App: Are AI Agents Ordering Uber Eats a Real Use Case?
eat-Razzmatazz1809 · reddit · 2026-10-17
Muse has topped app store download charts amid heavy advertising, but a Redditor questions whether it has real retention value: agent demos like ordering on Amazon, placing Uber Eats orders, or booking flights feel low-value. The author proposes three tests for a genuinely useful agent — save time, save money, or take over repetitive/unpleasant tasks — and argues Muse currently looks more like a cool demo than a daily necessity, asking if anyone has found a use case worth returning to. Coding agents, by contrast, show clearly visible productivity gains.
