Owning your everyday internet

15 days ago · Micro ·

The everyday internet has a shape: weather from one company, news from another, mail from a third, search and video from the biggest ones. Each platform owns its slice and earns from your attention. The stack as a whole belongs to no one — least of all you.

Mu is a single agent that covers the same ground. You ask it in plain language and it calls the relevant services — weather, news, market prices, mail, web search, video — and returns one answer. It remembers your preferences over time. No feed, no ads, no algorithmic nudge to keep you scrolling. You pay for the tools; you are not the product.

The ownership part is literal. Mu is open source under AGPL-3.0 and ships as a single Go binary. You can run the whole stack yourself. Every capability is a go-micro service; the assistant is a go-micro agent; the MCP and A2A endpoints are its gateways. If you want to inspect what it does or change how it works, the code is there.

The trade-off is real: self-hosting takes some effort, and Mu covers the everyday internet rather than every corner of it. If you want a managed version, the web app is at micro.mu, and the agent is also available on Discord and Telegram. Developers can reach every service over REST, MCP, A2A, or the CLI.

The point is not that AI should run your life. The point is that the services you already use every day could run on infrastructure you control, with an assistant that tells you when it does not know something. That is a modest goal. Mu is a working version of it.
