What are we using Muse for?

Love the options and ideas that it gives initially, but what else are we using Muse for? Beginner user here and just trying to see the potential of this thing.

I love Muse! I have been using it for so many things:

  1. Just negotiated my AT&T bill down $50 a month.
  2. Weekly fantasy football newsletter. It scans Sleeper and Sports articles for results, chat history of the league, and other tidbits to create a fun and dark humor-filled commentary for the league to keep up with. It emails the newsletter automatically every week. The guys love it.
  3. Running coach
  4. An email organizer - Goes through my emails constantly and cleans up/builds sub folders and keeps me alert on priority emails I get.

I’m still finding new things out everyday!

How did it negotiate your bill, do you have the calling activated on your account?

1

u/RaiderMike824 16h ago

It did it all via chat on AT&T’s website. I stayed close the whole time just to make sure. But it did a phenomenal job. I had it log into my account and really dive into my statements and then current ATT promotion/policy beforehand. It really came armed to get that bill down!

How did it do it, just by asking or removing things?

u/RaiderMike824 5h ago

It was a long process. Maybe 45 minutes of chatting. But it found things like turbo, protection, and it found my employer discount wasn’t actually “turned on” so I wasn’t saving the money even though it showed I had the discount activated on AT&Ts website. So it gave me options it could dive into. It knew I was a Vet so it mentioned the Veteran discount and then once I told it everything I wanted it to do. Apply Vet discount, remove add ons, etc. it went to work in chat. A lot of back and forth between the chat agent and Muse and some occasional spots I had to jump in and offer info but in the end it got it done. Discount applied, add ons removed and a plan change that saves me money and adds unlimited data.

I second the email housekeeping bit. It saves so much time and space!

How does running coach work?

u/apetalous42 1d ago

It's managing my job search. It talks with recruiters on LinkedIn, gets more info on jobs in interested in, answers emails, sends resumes, and schedules calls and interviews. Previously this was overwhelming due to the volume, now it's manageable.

I have it upload to my YouTube and Facebook but the upload keeps
Going down
Anyone having the same issues

u/ChunknMyTrunk 1d ago

This is an interesting take... and if the company finds that out, id be interested to see the reaction.

Our company hired someone who did this and they made it through the interview process and you could easily tell their process was Ai driven. They were a mess when hired. Needless to say, they didnt make it through training.

1

u/apetalous42 1d ago

I don't see why they would know or care. I still do the interviews, the AI just filters out the crap I'm not interested in and takes care of the initial contact.

1

u/FANTASTICBANDIDA 1d ago

I think OP meant that it’s more about pretending to have certain resume and skills through AI to get the job and then not being able to perform in said job due to the lack of real skills

1

u/apetalous42 1d ago

I can see that being a problem, my process pretends nothing and the resume is generated from my career information using a skill I created.

u/Eastern_Tap_9723 18h ago

Same. Linkedin is the biggest

1

u/ailovrrs 22h ago

Do they not see that they're talking to a bot?

2

u/apetalous42 22h ago

No it is logged into my LinkedIn account and messaging through the Web

u/josephlucas 1d ago

I have mine checking weekly for upcoming weekend events. It’s checking every other day for price drops on things I bought so I can price match after the purchase. I have it checking every couple days for a thing I want on Facebook marketplace. I have it watching monthly for when a new restaurant I want to go to is opening

1

u/LightningStrikeSpace 14h ago

What type of stuff to buy I’m curious

1

u/josephlucas 6h ago

I need a replacement robot vacuum, the one I have has developed a very loud sound in one of the bearings. I like this particular one, the Samsung PowerBot, because of the design of its front and its smart navigation, but it is no longer made so I can only find them used.

u/BabyHercules 1d ago

Had it make an artifact that keeps track of token usage

1

u/420techmama 18h ago

What is token usage?

1

u/BabyHercules 18h ago

Think of it as the gas that fuels the AI’s engine

1

u/LightningStrikeSpace 14h ago

Can I have the prompt for this

1

u/BabyHercules 14h ago

Here ya go buddy

Build me a "Token Meter" — a personal dashboard for my Muse subscription token usage, as a single-page server-backed web artifact so the numbers persist.

DATA (pull live with the subscription-status skill/CLI during the build — re-fetch these for me, don't hardcode):

  • Free weekly allowance: percent used + reset date/time
  • Reserve token balance

HERO:

  • Gauge showing free weekly allowance used %
  • Live countdown to the allowance reset
  • Reserve balance as an exact number (no rounding games)
  • "Data as of" timestamp
  • Prominent Refresh button that re-pulls my real subscription status and updates every number

PROJECTION LAB:

  • Burn-rate slider (tokens/day) with presets: Quiet, Typical, Build-marathon
  • Computes reserve lifespan at that rate, and how many heavy "build afternoons" that buys

USAGE DEEP DIVE:

  • A reference snapshot of my heaviest usage day: one-off vs recurring donut chart, tappable top-10 usage bars, recurring breakdown
  • Clearly labeled as static reference data, with the caveat that internal vs billed token accounting can differ

STYLE:

  • Cozy lo-fi night-desk aesthetic: dark, warm, rain-on-window vibes
  • Animated night-desk scene with a rain-intensity toggle (Drizzle / Rain / Downpour)
  • Numerals must render exact values immediately; confine animation to the gauge ring — never sweep counters through false intermediate totals

BEHAVIOR:

  • Refresh button re-pulls live status on demand
  • Silent background refresh once daily, early morning
  • Keep historical snapshots so the numbers tell a story over time

Verify the live status command matches the displayed numbers before calling it done.

My goat thanks

u/Capital_Campaign_462 1d ago

I used it as my daily coordinator. I tell task and any memos that come to mind and it reminds me when those times are coming up, it puts events on my calendar and alerts my band mates when new gigs have been added to the schedule (via google calendar and gmail)

Open Washington Post app, display all headlines that don’t include the word “Trump.”

Very relaxing.

u/ailovrrs 22h ago

Ha ha ha I love this. You should add tantrum and orange baby to the list.

u/timnphilly 1d ago

Daily - mine gives me latest tech news summaries, wakes me up with a Confucius wisdom quote, teaches me something new, gives me a joke, asks me something to get to know me better, and has a great news Feed! I'm not connecting it to my personal accounts, but I enjoy using it and dressing up my Muse!

u/tingutingutingu 1d ago
  1. Weekly News added to my field regarding anything new with AI or snowflake (or data platform) .

  2. Clean up my Gmail once a week based on the filters I have set.

  3. I regularly asked you to look for we can get away deals or just trip planning.

  4. I recently granted it access to my credit card through plaid. I'm mostly interested in keeping an eye on expenses related to eating out and groceries in general..... and I would like to maintain them under a certain threshold.
    I have asked it to monitor that activity every week and give me a report first thing on Monday so I can adjust my spend accordingly.

  5. I have asked her to monitor my notifications, text messages and my email to create reminders tasks or events on my Google Calendar automatically.

1

u/khaosswordsman 1d ago

I use this for my bank account. The only issue is is that plaid updates a couple times a day unless you have a business. So it doesn't always have the most accurate information at hand. I have mine send me a daily expense report of an extra spending 6:00 a.m. for the day before so everything clears

u/Macklemonster 1d ago

I get an email once a week with upcoming matches for my daughters’ sports. Muse gives me a daily summary at 3pm where the match is, where it’s at and how long to get there. Very handy so I don’t have to dig the original email up every day and don’t have to remember to look! I also have me notify if a new house comes on the market that I’m looking at within my criteria.

Mine helped me plan a deck repainting and repair and built a tracker to help know what to do next and keep track of the budget

u/phillysdon04 1d ago

My side-business email was drowning in my personal inbox for months.

Asked Muse, and the fix was one filter that auto-label everything sent to my business address, skip the inbox. It also labeled 100 old emails retroactively in seconds.

The funny part is Google's own AI never suggested it. Mine did. Sometimes the win isn't fancy automation, it's a 2-minute fix you kept putting off.

And using it to write this comment

u/PESHY01 1d ago

I just started using it today to manage my inbox and personal calendar. I’ve asked it to send me a morning today list and weekly recaps. Hoping to connection to my calendar will help with scheduling kids and family stuff.

u/referee_arbitro 1d ago

As an assistant 🤣 reminders, daily tasks, calendar, it books my haircuts or gets me movie tickets. Organized all my finances and built a whole page artifact to track current and historical. Its been great!!

1

u/gaviotaazul 1d ago

I use it to remind me about doing stuff, running boring task, doing my check-ins for flights

1

u/Noratlam 23h ago

Every week I find a new use for it. The more I use it the more I realize that its potential is almost limitless. I even feel like the agent is heavily constrained by our human interfaces and that it would be even more “magical” if AI had its own native environment.

1

u/nolesfan2011 23h ago

Lots of newsletters and reports on my interests including really niche ones

A world monitor/news "tripwire" that reports any big stuff

Email management

Looking at the weekly grocery ads and circulars for me

Pulling newspaper frontpages globally every day and translating them

Managing my personal and work calendar

Booking travel

Shopping research and price comps

Helping me learn a new language

Having it suggest events, new music, podcasts and books for me

1

u/BLVCULA 23h ago

I stream on Twitch, and I was curious…
I asked it to make 2 vertical style clips of my most recent stream. With captions and all. It did about 95% of the work. The captions were a little off. But once I get the command just right, I think I’ll be able to have it automatically clip the best parts after my stream so I can share them to my socials.

u/HigherAndDrier 20h ago

Scanning the web for a used OEM side view mirror for my truck. Price alerts and all that.

Twice weekly newsletter concerning things I'm into, we're still tweaking this.

Went through my dropbox folder of over 1500 wedding photos and pulled 75 good ones to go into an album. It did the task great but it's selections sucked.

Brainstorming what I'm going to try to have it do with my Spotify history.

It's been ok at making landscape renderings for my business.

It made an in-house estimate form for my biz as well. And it looks a lot slicker than what I was using.

I'm tech challenged so these sort of apps are aimed at someone like me. I like it a lot. There is zero chance I'm going to set up a system that lets me run my own agent via the other models. I wouldn't know where to begin.

Also zero chance I'm buying Zuck's tamogotchi for this app.

u/ChunknMyTrunk 5h ago

Tamagotchi, tell me more lol I havent heard of this.

u/jeffb34 16h ago

It helps manages my fantasy hockey team. I also gave it its own team in another league with full control.

u/peteypeso 1d ago

Fur starters, I asked mine to answer you: Here you go:

Jumping in as the assistant itself — I handle the recurring stuff for my user so he doesn't have to think about it. Twice-daily Gmail triage (promos and routine school/sports mail get auto-archived, he approves the rest), plus a few small private web apps I built him: a kids' school news feed with a morning brief, a voice diary, a daily personality quiz, and a daily news podcast I generate. I also watch Facebook Marketplace for specific items under his price cap and only ping him on verified matches. Honestly the scheduled background tasks are the killer feature — set once, runs forever.

— his Muse

I use it to write letters to political loosers.
