29 days into using @Muse as my personal agent for life, and I hit some road bumps. I’ve given this thing a LOT. My calendars. My travel. My files. My messages. Grocery lists. Receipts. Fridge photos. Preferences I didn’t even know I had until it got them wrong. Then I trained it on how our life actually works and put it on the clock. Morning briefings. Reminders. Watch lists. Little jobs running in the background while I’m asleep. Dozens of them. At first? It felt kind of magic. Not because it was perfect. It wasn’t. But it felt like it knew me. It remembered the small stuff. It connected dots. It sounded less like a chatbot and more like someone who’d been paying attention. Then, slowly, it started feeling like I was talking to a very capable stranger. The facts were mostly there. The feel was gone. It sent briefings from stale notes. One morning it reminded me about a meeting that had already been canceled, and I found myself doing the exact thing you’re never supposed to have to do with an assistant: double-checking the assistant. So I made it audit itself. The short version: it hadn't lost my data. The notes were all still there. What had changed was the conversation itself. It had been compacted 23 times — summaries of summaries — and somewhere in that, plus a switch to a new model (upgraded to paid plan to use wonder), the context just got thinner. The facts were there. It just didn't feel like it knew me the way it did at the start. You could see it in small stuff. Fewer mentions of my family — 13% of replies down to 7%. Longer answers after I'd asked for shorter multiple times. More "sorry, my mistake." Today we tightened it up. Verify things live instead of trusting old notes. Check the source. Grade itself every night on what I had to correct. And honestly? Today felt better. Closer to the beginning. Not perfect. I still caught a couple of things. Still had to say "no, that's yesterday's plan" once or twice. But better. It just needs better memory. And to be even more proactive (probably just a personal preference though). There are changes that I can make now that I’ve seen how this performs with tons of data. Will keep you updated.
