Summary
On the latest episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Sean O’Kane, and colleagues discussed Meta’s AI announcements seemed to steal the spotlight during a week of new model launches from OpenAI and Anthropic. With other big AI companies focused on coding and enterprise tools, it was a little surprising to see Meta move in the opposite direction, with a consumer focus and a cute, Tamagotchi-style AI device that Meta insists is for adults only. Sean tried Muse for himself, and while he was pleased that the agent found him some unclaimed money, he described the feature as more “a party-trick type thing,” rather than something that will drive ongoing usage. “Meta’s business is to sell you ads,” Sean said.
