nanoMuse: An Open-Source Personal Agent for Every Device You Own

In September 2026 Meta's Muse showed an agent for one person, with accounts, devices, memory and a conversation that lasts, closed, in a vendor's cloud, in one country.

Key points

  • Assistants from 2011 answered and waited, and agents from 2023 did a task and stopped.
  • It is a kind of software, not a model, and until now had no open counterpart.
  • It reads how Muse is built from Meta's public record and a copy of its production prompt, each statement marked by its source.
  • It then presents nanoMuse, the open-source counterpart under the GPL-3.0, one agent on every device a person owns, with hands on the phone's screen and the computer's.
