What you need to know
- 01
Muse works in a dedicated virtual machine with a browser and development tools.
- 02
A separate permission system mediates connector actions and outbound requests.
- 03
Meta explicitly says the agent can still make mistakes and discusses the limits of its protections.
Why it matters
Useful autonomy depends on the surrounding system as much as the model. Isolation, approvals, and recoverability are product features to compare.
Keep in perspective
What to watch for
Read the current privacy and rollout details. The launch architecture is a description of protections, not a promise of risk-free automation.
