What makes the difference

Muse gives each person an isolated cloud machine run by Meta, with a separate agent that approves connector actions and network access according to the rules you set. Meta documents subagents, scheduled tasks and a wide set of shopping and work connectors, aimed at one person's life and errands. APX keeps work on your computer or server and organizes it around projects, named agents and a shared task board.
