Meta's Muse agent targets subscription spending patterns as AI enters household finance
Meta released Muse, an AI personal agent designed to monitor and optimize credit card spending, focusing on the subscription economy—a sector worth hundreds of billions annually. The move signals AI assistants are moving beyond search into active financial decision-making for consumers.
