PremiumAgentic AI, Meta's Muse, & The Contest For Crypto Prices
Two weeks after Meta shipped Muse, the outrageous performance of the company's stock this week has morphed the agentic-AI economy from sounding like tech gobbledygook to looking like a consumer product.
On September 8, 2026, Meta rolled out a personal agent that does not merely answer questions, it books travel, sends email, haggles a bill, fills forms, shops, and then pays for it all through Stripe Link, running on a dedicated cloud virtual machine with its own browser. Zuckerberg framed it as software that works "24/7 on your behalf." Ten days later it was the top free iPhone app in the US. Wall Street began treating Muse as a possible new revenue engine, not another chatbot experiment.
