[[wiki/Facebook M|Facebook M]] (2015–2018) used artificial intelligence and human trainers inside Messenger to turn open-ended requests into completed outcomes. [[wiki/Meta Muse|Muse]] returned to the same product ontology in 2026 with model-directed planning, a persistent secure virtual machine, browser action, connected applications, memory, payments, audit trails, and approval gates. The relationship is a product and organizational lineage rather than an asserted source-code continuity. M demonstrated demand for delegated completion and the scaling limit of human compute. Muse moves most execution into the machine stack while preserving human authority at consequential boundaries and exposing new questions about when contractors or other services enter the chain. ### Agentic-AI relationships - **historical system:** [[wiki/Facebook M|Facebook M]]. - **current personal agent:** [[wiki/Meta Muse|Muse]]. - **technical category:** [[wiki/Agentic AI|Agentic AI]] and [[wiki/Personal AI Agent|Personal AI Agent]]. - **human consequence:** [[wiki/Agentic Empowerment|Agentic Empowerment]] and [[wiki/Agent-Management Literacy|Agent-Management Literacy]]. - **comparators:** [[wiki/OpenClaw|OpenClaw]] and [[wiki/Grok Bot|Grok Bot]]. ### Personal-agent sources - [Meta — Here’s to 2016 with Messenger](https://about.fb.com/news/2016/01/heres-to-2016-with-messenger/) - [Meta — Introducing Muse](https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/introducing-muse-personal-ai-agent/) ## Linked Wired Entries - [[wired/Wired About Personal Agents Named M|Wired About Personal Agents Named M]] — Facebook M (2015–2018): the 10,000-person agent enclave, and the ideal way to delegate. - [[wired/Wired About the Age of Agentic Empowerment|Wired About the Age of Agentic Empowerment]] — Muse, the personal agent as counterpart, and the distribution of executable follow-through. ## Related Articles - [[articles/Safety Discourse Is Transition Discourse|Safety Discourse Is Transition Discourse]] — places this node within the managed transition from concentrated machine advantage to governed public agent deployment.
