AI BriefingMeta Admits AI Assistant 'Muse' Was Heavily Inspired by OpenClaw
Key point
Meta stated that its AI assistant 'Muse' was heavily inspired by OpenClaw but was built independently.
Details
Nat Friedman, Product Lead at Meta Superintelligence Labs, acknowledged that the AI assistant 'Muse' was 'heavily inspired' by OpenClaw as a product. While clarifying that Muse was 'built from scratch,' he explained that they referenced OpenClaw because its creator, Peter Steinberger, had 'done a great job' with system file configuration. Early users pointed out similarities, noting that Muse's system file names and contents (such as SOUL.md) were nearly identical to OpenClaw's. Friedman revealed that Meta fell in love with OpenClaw after testing it on hundreds of Mac minis, with the goal of safely scaling it to millions of users. Muse recently took the #1 spot on the US App Store, and when comparing platform and market availability, it is outpacing ChatGPT's initial mobile launch speed.
