Hi Reader,
On The Daily AI Show, I kept coming back to the Muse Charm’s puppy dog eyes. I see a device. Would a kid see a friend? I have a strong opinion about putting one in a child’s hands. I also want to be specific about what I can back up.
Meta describes the Charm as a pocket-sized device for talking to Muse. The Muse app is for people 18 and over. Here’s what I’d want to know if a child in my house picked up an adult’s Charm. Could they talk to it? If they did, who could see or hear what they said? Meta’s announcement · Associated Press
These three skills are the Research Skills Pack, the swag bag everyone gets at the Virtual CREATE Experience 2026, Friday and Saturday, November 13–14. Here’s what each one does, with a prompt to try.
Pepper — Mine Your Own Research and Writing
Pepper searches the files you give it, including work you never published. It finds passages you can reuse, shows where they came from and connects ideas that turn up across your work. If you’re writing something new, it can turn those finds into a content brief.
Try it. Find the passage about puppy dog eyes in my November 3 Daily AI Show transcript. Quote me in context. Then search the notes I’ve shared for the research I cited. Show me where my own interpretation begins.
Scout — Rank New Reading for Your Audience
Scout ranks outside articles and papers against your topics and goals. Before it recommends a piece as the basis for something you write, it checks what your audience gets from it, whether you have a point of view to contribute, where your expertise fits and which goal it serves. You get a reading list in priority order, with a reason for each pick.
Try it. I’m writing for parents about the Muse Charm. Rank the sources most worth reading on age limits, voice recordings and what children tell devices they trust. For each pick, tell me why it belongs on the list and whether it covers the Charm, the Muse app or another device.
Weigh the Evidence
Give it a question, a person or an organization and say what you’re preparing for. It investigates from several angles, follows claims back to their original sources and rates the evidence behind each finding. The brief changes with the assignment, whether you’re preparing for a meeting, advising a client or writing for an audience.
Try it. What evidence bears on the question “Is Muse dangerous for kids?” Trace each finding to its original source. Mark which findings come from tests of the Charm itself, which describe the adult app and which come from research on other devices. Rate the support for each finding and spell out what a parent still can’t know.
Which would help you most this week? Hit reply and tell me what you’re working on.
Warmly,
