What people are actually doing with Muse, Meta's personal AI agent - in their own posts, from the day it launched.

Inbox & life admin
The agent as chief of staff.
Decades of email, finally under control. @Casey's Muse agent Hal helps him stay on top of his inbox without living in it.
When work, life, and wedding planning all hit at once, Muse helps @gannon_meyer keep things moving, from managing his calendar to drafting follow-up emails.
02
Errands & bookings
Handing off the small stuff.
And then the other day I was late at work but really wanted to take my so to a rotating sushi restaurant. I asked muse to make my booking and it did!
Bills paid. Flowers sent. Dinner booked. @marshal's Muse doesn't just remind him what needs doing, it gets it done.
I asked it where to go for dinner, it recommended Bar Agricole, and then tried to book it for 7 mins, but couldn't get through. The only problem is that Bar Agricole has been closed for 2 years!
03
Trip planning
Plans that bend when life does.
I asked Muse to plan a long weekend in Vermont. It built the trip around the people going: my older daughter's interest in sustainability, my mom's pottery, my vegan diet. Then my parents dropped out and Sunday turned rainy, and it reworked the reservations in response.
04
Shopping & deals
Agentic commerce, first drafts.
I made Muse do the most mundane job for me- buy my sons school (long) stationary list at best price. It really did well. It saved me hours from doing that myself!
Marketplace hunting, minus the hunt. @sagecadence_'s Muse agent Chef compares listings, messages sellers, and negotiates to help find the right setup.
05
Personal knowledge & media
Your saved stuff, finally useful.
Literally yesterday I built an agent with Codex + Muse Spark to go through all my Instagram bookmarks and turn them into a searchable diary... Then @Muse launches, tried to do the exact same thing and I LOVE IT.
Looks like @museband understands mel spectrograms too. Just gave it an mp4 and asked it to look at it.
06
Building & creating
The agent makes software for you.
A couple things stood out to me as i tried @Muse: instant apps and a proactive feed. Each use case spawning a personalized app on the go is interesting.
Asked Muse to check out our OS. No context, just go, and then it wrote about it.
07
Poking the agent
Day one means stress tests.
Realized that it lets you see the whole file system folder on the VM including .ssh folder, not sure if this is a good idea?
I asked Muse to show me its internal file system
As a builder of browser agent, tried Muse. First, they have great browser infra: fast load times, access to any site on the internet + captcha solving. Now, the agent harness of doing actions/write tasks is slightly slower and error prone.
no cap, i asked muse to deploy a token on robinhood. homie picked a name, created an image, paired it with meta, put the description and all.
08
The trust question
Not a use case - the thing being negotiated.
I was more reluctant to press the "Connect email" button on Muse than on 10+ startup agent products I've tried.
Muse feels like it was built by a lawyer. It refused the first thing I asked. Instinct feels like it was built by someone who didn't know laws existed.
Today I had a panic attack when Muse asked what to call it... I eventually decided to just call it Muse and try not to get attached.

What people want next
The day-one wishlist.
My top wishes for @museband to improve: 1) truly live sports updates 2) live language practice would be huge 3) X integration, since I'm a frequent user here.
Here are my first thoughts on Meta Muse as someone who has been using Grok Bot almost exclusively since day 1.
And from @pritopian's post in section 05: send agents on quests from inside Instagram itself, and agentic commerce that works for small shops, not just giant retailers.
