If you have grown tired of seeing Meta AI being pushed across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and whatever other apps the company runs, Meta has a surprise for you: more AI! Meta Muse is an agentic app that can do stuff on your phone rather than just pull up information for you. The cute, fluffy mascot makes you want to use Muse all the more, and that’s why it’s gaining so much traction online.
However, no matter how cute it makes its AI, Meta’s reputation precedes it. It is the last tech giant that comes to mind if you think of privacy-conscious companies, thanks to its past privacy lapses. And that’s a valid reason if you might want to steer clear of Muse and look for safer alternatives. Here are some solid agentic AI tools that aren’t made by Meta.
