Why it matters

Meta is shipping Muse as a shopping agent across major retail and travel platforms. This is agent deployment at scale in e-commerce—the test case for whether autonomous checkout workflows can handle real-world friction (payment, fulfillment, returns). Practitioners need to track adoption, failure modes, and whether this shifts how enterprises think about agentic UX in high-stakes transactions.
