Alexandr Wang says don't expect Muse to magically make you $10,000

Meta's chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, says he plans to improve Muse, but users will have to work a little, too, if they want the agent to make them money.

Wang was describing the viral prompts that some users are giving Meta's popular AI agent to make them X amount of money.

"I find this really funny, but there's a lot of people who will just ask their Muse, 'I want you to make me $10,000.' And, obviously, not everyone can just ask their Muse to make them $10,000."

Wang previously encouraged users to use Muse to find such savings as part of his #musemoneychallenge, but asking Muse to make money is on a different level.

Meta's goal, Wang said, is to continue to improve Muse's memory so it can help users tackle more complex tasks.

"The memory of the agents is not like that of a human," he said. "Sometimes it can feel like it's like that, but it is really different. So that's one area where we're always trying to improve."

Wang said that Meta wanted to find a way to bring "the magic" that developers have seen when they used agents and make it more accessible to the masses.

Part of Meta's focus for Muse will be figuring out how to make an agentic product sustainable.

"I wouldn't say we're spending that much time thinking about ads necessarily right now," he said.

"If they're buying things using Muse, or Muse is saving them money, or Muse is making them money, figuring out a way to take some small fee on those kinds of transactions," he said.
