Amazon blocks Meta’s Muse from shopping on its website
Amazon blocked Meta’s Muse from shopping on its website, turning an AI product launch into an early fight over who controls automated checkout. Muse is built to act across the web rather than just answer prompts:
• Browse sites, fill forms, book travel, and send messages
• Monitor Marketplace listings and negotiate with sellers
• Complete purchases after approval for sensitive actions
Meta says Muse runs inside a dedicated secure virtual machine and never sees passwords or payment details. The agent reached 1.8 million iPhone downloads in its first two weeks, then expanded to Mac on September 17 with access to files, messages, calendars, and notes. Amazon cited a terms violation on September 21.
