Brigade vs Meta Muse
Muse is one personal agent per person, built on Meta’s own model and sold as Meta’s own plans. Brigade gives your company a team: several teammates at once, each with its own job, Apps and memory, your colleagues in the same threads, and every decision in one shared list. Brigade runs the official Claude Code and Codex on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for, its teammates write and ship your code, and it is open source.
