Can I use Muse without worrying?

A friend recently asked me:

“Can I use this AI tool without worrying?”

He was talking about Muse, Meta’s AI agent.

My answer was pretty simple:

Yes. I’ve been trying it for a few days and I think it’s very good.

For the safety of your personal information, here’s an easy rule to remember:

Treat Muse like Facebook. Don’t give it more personal information than you’re comfortable trusting Meta with.

There’s one important twist with Muse, though: it’s an AI agent.

So it may offer to connect your email, calendar and other services in order to work for you.

Here’s a simple example.

Are your emails on Gmail? Google already hosts them.

If you connect Gmail to Muse, you now also allow Muse, a Meta service, to access the authorized information so it can work with your emails.

Same idea with your calendar or another service.

That isn’t necessarily a problem.

You just need to be aware of it before you click “Allow”.

My rule

The more access I give an AI agent to my tools, the more useful it can become.

But every time it asks for a new permission, I ask myself:

“Am I comfortable with Muse having access to this information?”

If yes, I continue.

If not, I leave that door closed.
