An agent needs to keep persistent facts (memories) to be useful.

I used to work for Meta on AI infra and privacy. I built my own version that makes it clear what facts it stores about you and you can edit or remove them. It also keeps separate contexts for you and your group (or household) which the other agents don't. Testing with friends and family now. Happy to share more info if anyone is interested.

why would you build your own and then go on and defend Meta. Then use Muse. Or eff off with this meta defending

I was not defending Meta. AI agents rely on context (your preferences, basic facts, likes/dislikes) to be useful. It is also very likely that Meta goes beyond what's really required.

Context is one thing, but this article implies it goes into psychological analysis territory. Even further than that - nudging.

Which can be fine, people go to therapists, but not without knowing it !!!

Well that's something Meta is very good at. Which is why I would never use that tool.
