Meta's AI Agent Muse Shows Significant Similarities to OpenClaw

Meta's new AI agent for consumers, Muse, has achieved significant popularity, reaching the top of the App Store charts shortly after its release. Apptopia estimates the platform has 600,000 daily active users in the United States.

Beneath the surface, however, similarities have been noted between Muse and the AI agent platform Instinct, which is currently fundraising at a $2.5 billion valuation, and the platform considered to be the originator: OpenClaw. Over the past week, some social media users have alleged that Muse is directly built upon OpenClaw.

Observers point out that both platforms utilize identical naming conventions for core files, such as SOUL.md and memory. These technical parallels suggest a potential reliance on or inspiration drawn from OpenClaw's architecture, though no official confirmation has been provided.

This development occurs within a rapidly expanding AI agent ecosystem. Numerous companies are vying for user attention and market share in this evolving sector. Muse's success, coupled with its potential technical ties to OpenClaw, could influence industry trends and competitive dynamics moving forward.
