From my experience using Meta Muse, it seems to know a lot about me, simply by remembering our conversations. But as it turns out, according to a Wired report, internal instructions pulled from the AI agent show that it can organize information about the people around you too, potentially building a dedicated page for everyone from your spouse and friends to coworkers and people you follow.

I use Muse, so naturally I wanted to know what mine had collected. I asked it what it knew about me; luckily, the answer was surprisingly sparse. But after seeing how Muse is designed to build its understanding over time, that may say more about how much access I've given it than what the agent is capable of learning.

Independent AI safety and security researcher Karan Joshi extracted Muse's internal instructions and system prompts by essentially asking the agent through its normal chat interface to copy and share its own software files.

Joshi shared what he found with WIRED, including instructions for an hourly process that can create "a page for every person in the user's life."

And Meta appears to mean just about everyone. The instructions the researchers found mention family, partners, friends, colleagues, collaborators and even people you follow.

Those pages may initially be sparse, but they're designed to fill up over time. According to the report, Muse can organize what it knows into sections covering facts, history, the relationship, things you have in common, open threads and even ways of strengthening the relationship.
