   The privacy issue blocks me from adopting this or other personal assistants: do I want to give muse my identity data and access to my mail, calendar, and phone so it can do even basic tasks like make appointments or pay bills?

   It will be interesting to see if muse's privacy features can get users over this.

      There will come a point where the local models are good enough (and iPhones powerful enough) for this to be possible without privacy downsides.

         A lot of use cases for agents require long running sessions. And you're likely to have many agent sessions running in parallel. These aren't going to be running on your personal devices

            Durability and parallelism aren't that hard, and you won't be needing frontier models for much of this stuff. The parameter efficiency of models is increasing rapidly. I don't see why a (near-)future device wouldn't be capable of running a perfectly capable personal assistant.
