Methodology

What we cover

Each guide covers one kind of business and the software it commonly runs, and answers one question: what can an AI agent do with that software today, according to public sources? The first agent covered is Muse, Meta's agent. Other agents may be added to the same pages.

Where claims come from

We look for sources in this order, and record the date we checked each one:

  1. The vendor's or Meta's own material: docs, help center, developer portal, blog, press release.
  2. Official sources, such as a government agency's own guidance.
  3. Press coverage.
  4. Independent reports, guides and public posts.

Status labels

Every claim carries one label and links to the source it rests on.

LabelMeaning
Confirmed by vendorThe software company or Meta says it in its own material.
Confirmed by the [agency]A government agency says it on its own site. The label always names the agency that published the source, for example "Confirmed by the FTC" or "Confirmed by the FCC".
ReportedA press outlet or independent site says it, and we haven't found it in the vendor's own material.
ConflictingSources disagree. We show both.
UnverifiedWe couldn't confirm it. Treat it as an open question.

What we don't do

We haven't run these tasks ourselves unless a page says so. "The vendor says" doesn't mean "we tested it." Nothing here is legal advice.

Dates: "Last verified" and "Updated"

We aim to re-check each guide's sources weekly. When something changes, the page's "Changes to this page" table and the changelog say what changed and when.

How pages are written

Research and first drafts are prepared with the help of an AI assistant. Erik Cooper reviews and approves every published change before it goes live.

Conflicts of interest

The person who runs this site also builds connectors for Muse. See About for the disclosure and how we handle it.
