Questions
Why charge for services?
News, video search, chat, and email all rely on APIs and infrastructure that cost money to run. The free 20 credits per day covers casual daily use.
Do credits expire?
No. Once you top up, your credits are yours until you use them.
Why no unlimited subscription?
Unlimited tiers incentivize us to maximize your engagement. Pay-as-you-go keeps incentives aligned: we want efficient tools, not sticky products.
Is watching videos free?
Yes. We only charge when we add value (search, summaries), not for things YouTube already provides.
Can AI agents use Mu?
Yes. Mu supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP). See the MCP page for setup and available tools.
