A report published October 3, 2026, said researcher Karan Joshi had extracted instructions from Meta Muse that describe an hourly process for building evolving pages about people in a user’s life. The instructions outline a possible workflow, not a routine established for every user.
What Muse’s instructions reportedly describe
The instructions reportedly call for a page about each person connected to a user, including family, partners, friends, colleagues, collaborators and people the user follows. The pages could build over time, with sections covering facts, shared history, the relationship, common interests, open topics and ways to strengthen the connection.
Karan Joshi reportedly extracted the instructions through Muse’s chat interface and shared what he found. The date of the account describing the extraction is October 3; the extraction itself was said to have taken place in the preceding days.
NeoTeo previously covered a third-party estimate of Muse downloads in the U.S., a separate story about the agent’s reported download figures.
What a page could contain
The possible details range from a person’s location and work to recurring topics, important dates and events in a shared history. The instructions also describe tracking relationship closeness and dynamics, then suggesting a reason to call, a date to remember or a way to offer support.
That kind of context could help an assistant connect details a user has shared over time. It also means the described profile concept extends beyond the user to people they interact with, including people who may never use Muse themselves.
How information about non-users may reach Muse
Meta says information about people who do not use Muse may be included in material a user shares with the agent, including through connected apps, documents or requests. Muse may also encounter information about them on the public internet.
Meta says information about non-users obtained from external sources is not linked to a Meta account and is not stored in a way that allows the company to reasonably identify whose information it is. Meta also says it can honor data-subject rights requests only when information is linked to an account or stored in an identifiable way.
What Meta says users can change
Meta says users can update Muse’s general memories by asking the agent or editing them manually. Meta has also described a dedicated virtual machine for each user, options to wipe memories and disconnect external services, and an audit log. The agent is designed to seek confirmation before actions such as sending an email or making a purchase.
