WIRED tests six always-on AI agents — Muse, Dots, Instinct, Claude Duet, Gemini Spark, Grok Bot

A WIRED reporter spent a day running five tests across six always-on AI agents (Meta’s Muse; OpenAI’s Dots; Instinct; Anthropic’s Claude Duet; Google’s Gemini Spark; and xAI’s Grok Bot) to compare proactivity, instruction-following, and browsing abilities. The piece notes pricing and access differences (Muse free; Instinct free/invite; Dots $100/month inside ChatGPT; Gemini Spark $20/month; Claude Duet $20/month; Grok Bot $30/month), reports improvements over last year, and highlights privacy and trust concerns from connecting agents to personal data.

Walmart announced Agent Gateway, a new MCP server that lets approved AI agents search Walmart’s online inventory and make purchases for customers on Walmart.com and Sam’s Club. The rollout includes Agent Profiles (coming next month) that let users authorize agents, set spending limits, view agent purchases separately, and applies agent-specific terms that restrict agent access to payment data and allow Walmart to block non‑compliant agents.

Stripe: AI agents are using Link for purchases but Stripe declines to share totals

Stripe says AI agents are increasingly using its payment product Link to make purchases: in September transactions grew 38-fold and payment volume grew 20-fold, though Stripe has not disclosed absolute counts or dollar amounts. The company told Upstarts Media the analysis covered roughly 70 agents at the time and that the user count has since risen to about 200 (including Meta's Muse and Grok Bot); most agent transactions average about $100 but some bookings run into the thousands. Link issues separate 16-digit numbers rather than users' real card numbers; Anthropic and OpenAI use Link but reportedly not yet for agent purchases, and Stripe named PayPal and Shopify's Shop Pay as likely competitors.

Tony Fadell: first-wave consumer AI gadgets failed; success needs trust and on-device agents

At MIT Future Fest Tony Fadell argued that early consumer AI devices like the Rabbit R1, Humane AI Pin and the Limitless pendant failed because they didn’t solve real user needs. He said trust, security and on‑device operation will be essential for viable personal AI assistants, noting recent security issues with Meta’s Muse and that Apple has hardware and user goodwill but lacks a leading in‑house model.

Marissa Mayer unveils Dazzle, a camera-roll–centered personal AI assistant

Mayer says Dazzle prioritizes privacy by discarding flagged sensitive information, and the product complements — rather than duplicates — other assistants that rely on text-heavy data sources.
