Meta's new AI agent Muse, designed to simplify online shopping, has been blocked by Amazon but embraced by Shopify. Amazon views Muse as a threat to its high-margin advertising revenue, while Shopify sees integration with Muse as a way to boost its ShopPay platform and merchant sales.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce.
