A Design Flaw in Share Links Exposes Users’ Personal Conversations With Meta’s Muse

Researchers from security firm Claroc say Meta's Muse AI assistant exposed sensitive conversations shared through web links. They found 6,800 share links and opened a few hundred, revealing items including a loan application, a bank fraud alert and a staff vacation calendar. The links were easy to find because the conversation title appeared in the web address, which public DNS records captured. Meta said it has paused the sharing feature while it reviews the issue and considers changes. Earlier, a separate vulnerability reported by security expert Patrick Wardle had also been downplayed by Meta.

Yelp can now call on your behalf to check wait times at a restaurant

Yelp is adding a feature that lets app users have an AI voice agent call a restaurant to check wait times. Users enter their party size and phone number on a restaurant page, and the agent texts back the results. The update also adds an OpenTable integration for booking without leaving the app, personalised assistant memory, and custom lists. A new paid product, Smart Lead Reply, will reply to business customers for $30 per month.

Replika’s founder built the AI assistant she pitched at Disrupt 12 years ago

Eugenia Kuyda has officially launched Wabi for all users, a multiplayer personal AI assistant that works like a messenger app. Twelve years after presenting an early chatbot called IO at TechCrunch Disrupt, she says the technology has caught up with her original vision. Users can keep several threads for different tasks and goals, and the agent builds custom apps within them. Kuyda says separate threads avoid the information overload of a single long conversation. Wabi is free for now, and its business model has not been settled. Kuyda said the company is in talks to raise more funds.
