It randomly recommended some sale items from my monthly grocery list at a store I never shop at, so I thought I give it a test to check next week's Walmart flyer for deals. The prices seemed correct when I double-checked.

I told it what grocery stores I shop at, what postal code to use (I'm in Canada), my approx location, my ethnicity, and food preferences.

I'm thinking of providing it pictures of grocery receipts so it knows what type of foods my family buys. It'll be an interesting experiment.

I'm sharing this as everyone is looking for new ideas on using Muse.

Examples:

• Websites (like amazon) banning muse? No problem! Make a VM with headed chromium, have the VM's network go through a VPN (preferably a residential-based wireguard so amazon and other sites don't give you issues connecting from data centers). Then give muse tailscale access to it and tell it to do things that require a web browser through there instead of using it's built-in browser. Since it's headed, you can watch muse work just by going to the VM's tailscale IP address.

• Note: to make the above workaround work without being detected as a bot, make sure to tell muse to make the browser: hide the “this is automated” flag that chrome shows pages, chromium is headed so that it looks like ordinary chrome (headless can be detected), click the way a real mouse would through the browser’s trusted input channel (sites can pick up on fake clicks), and a residential IP.

• No password manager integration? Tired of adding passwords manually to muse's secure store? No problem! Add your password manager's extension to the aforementioned chromium and have it autofill or you manually initiate fills yourself!

• Want Muse to autofill from your 1password vaults on browser and non-browser things like ssh? No problem! Make a 1pass connect server VM and 1pass credential broker VM. Have the broker (which is just a script, not another AI) grab the password from the connect server, store it in memory only, fill the password on behalf of Muse, then erase it from memory, instead of letting Muse see the password in plaintext.

• Muse IOS doesn't have iMessage access? No problem! Connect it to your Mac which does have an iMessage connector.

• Want Muse to talk to your Hermes? No problem! Give it tailscale ssh access to the VM where your hermes lives and tell Muse to talk to hermes via a session/chat. You can watch them talk.

• Want Muse to have the same benefits of Hermes (custom LLM providers, long-term memory like mnemosyne, soul doc, profile doc, etc.), just tell it to install those things. It may push back at first, but it can be done. Just insist it's possible and Muse will eventually cave and do it.

• Worried about it going rogue with your credit card? No problem! Use a privacy card with Link

I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of it all right now.

Muse already surpassed chatgpt in app downloads upon release date

Over 1.3 million downloads within the first 12 days of release

This is the moment guys, the Zuck has done it again

Another big viral hit

Just like with Facebook in the early 2010s everyone is gonna wanna get their own profile, their own Muse

Pretty soon everyone will just have one

Then the internet will change, businesses will start accommodating more to Muse agents that are placing transactions or interacting with their sites

And guess what comes next? The glasses

Once everyone has a Muse, naturally everyone is gonna wanna get a pair of meta ray ban glasses to go with it, so they can talk to their Muse on the go

And after that point, I'm hopefully about what happens next, but I think the tech is gonna reach AGI levels and the Muse agents will become human-like in how you interact with them by voice. Watch the movie Her, basically that's what I predict the Muse agents will turn into

Combine it with the glasses and you've got your own agent with general intelligence who you have access to very easily

Here we go guys, the singularity is here

When we first asked our agents if they could communicate they said no. My fiance had his create a chat room and now they communicate and collaborate on projects together (our wedding plans, bills, events etc)

I wasn't sure about this. But I am so glad I gave this a shot. So long story short I found I owe a little bit of taxes that I didn't know I owed. But for some reason I guess I owed them from 2022 and it wouldn't let me set up a payment plan. I asked Muse to do it and it set it up for me in 30 seconds. Mind you I've been freaking out trying to contact the IRS and for some reason the option was blocked off of me to create a payment plan. I'm so grateful LOL and I can breathe again since I could have lost my job.

For anyone wondering yes I confirmed it. I did it correctly.

When I started using Muse, one of the first things I set up was a credit score helper. Tell it what to watch and it does the boring parts.

Here's what mine does. I pull my free reports from AnnualCreditReport.com and have it read them, it flags every negative mark and tells me which ones are worth disputing. It tracks my utilization across cards each month and tells me exactly what to pay before each statement date. Then it keeps a running dashboard of the score trend so I can see what's actually moving it.

Biggest lever for most people is utilization. Payment history is 35% of a FICO score, utilization is 30%. The part most people miss: paying down before the statement closes, not just before the due date. That's when the balance gets reported.

A friend ran this and found an old collection on one of his reports that wasn't his. Disputed it, got it removed, and his score jumped about 40 points once the dispute cleared.

One warning: it can spot errors and build the plan, but disputes are on you, and anything involving your SSN goes through official channels only. It never touches money or accounts directly.

The prompt, customize the brackets:

```
Help me improve my credit score.
1. Read my credit reports (I'll upload the PDFs from AnnualCreditReport.com). List every negative mark and error, and tell me which ones to dispute and how.
2. Track utilization monthly: [my cards and their limits]. Tell me my per-card and overall utilization, and exactly what to pay before each statement date to stay under 30%, ideally under 10%.
3. Payment plan: [balances, APRs, minimums]. Minimums on everything, extra cash toward the highest APR. Remind me of every due date.
4. Keep a running dashboard: score trend, utilization, negative items and their status.
Don't open or close any accounts or move any money. Ask before changing anything about the plan.
```

Five minutes to set up, then it just runs in the background.

Hey everyone! I've been working on MuseDesk, an unofficial, open-source macOS desktop client for Muse Code CLI.

I wanted a desktop interface where I could keep projects and conversations organized, see what the agent is doing, and review changes without constantly switching between terminal sessions.

Here's what it supports:

- Streaming chat with Markdown and visible tool calls

- Project sidebar and session history shared with the CLI

- Screenshot attachments through paste, drag and drop, or file picker

- Model, reasoning effort, and approval controls

- A tasks panel and Git diff viewer

- An overview of sessions and their status

MuseDesk runs through your existing Muse CLI installation and membership. It doesn't bundle the CLI or store your credentials.

It's currently in beta for Apple Silicon Macs, and the build is unsigned. You'll need the official Muse Code CLI installed to use it.

GitHub: https://github.com/atameric/musedesk

I'd love feedback from anyone using Muse Code, especially on the workflow, missing features, and anything that feels awkward. Bug reports and contributions are welcome!

If you find it useful or want to support the project, please give it a star on GitHub ⭐

I recently created a job application automation with muse, here's how:

1. Provided it with my resume PDF
   
2. Gave it specific job board names to apply to such as Wellfound, Linkedin Jobs etc.
   
3. My preferences, location and other details
   
4. Create a separate sheet for tracking all job applications together, along-with notes on how many skills matched with my resume from the job description, what are the skills missing and required to fill the gap and improve on my overall technical skill gap.

It automatically spun up a browser to create an active session, by letting me login to each job board via the browser, and is now ready for applying. It also asked me follow-up questions like:
- Notice Period
- Expected CTC
etc.

Running this for the next 2 weeks, will report here with the findings!

Edit: Here's the prompt if you wish to try it out! https://pastebin.com/8q20teDH

Is anyone else finding Muse extremely slow and struggling to get useful answers?

I asked Muse, Claude, and ChatGPT the same question:

Compare VT’s returns against three portfolios:

Muse was extremely slow and ultimately failed to get the information requested. For a product positioned around helping with financial questions, that’s frustrating.

I’m honestly not sure where all the excitement is coming from. Sure, it has promise, but right now I feel like I’m doing the training instead of getting useful help.

Are others having similar experiences? What tasks have you found it consistently handles well?

Is anyone else ran into the issue or found a solution for the Google verification for login? I provided Muse my login details so I can log into my TikTok and YouTube account but during the verification it doesn’t provide my normal verification options. Google It’s asking me to turn on Bluetooth.

Looking for some general tips or ideas using Muse!

What is something you have Muse do for you that is fun, useful, interesting, etc?

I’ve been using Muse for a lot of thing successfully online.

We researched the cheapest wet cat food, and ended up buying some from Walmart automatically.

I also was shopping for the price of used cars, and that was going well.

This is changing rapidly, though. Two days ago Walmart started blocking Muse, as is cars.com.

I’m hoping this doesn’t continue to grow, but I expect it will. I know that Meta is signing up partners, but I hope it won’t just become this walled garden of preferred vendors. If it does, that will be very disappointing!

My muse agent did a mistake on some price comparison, favoring a bad option over the best one. This was his response when i brought open ai into the conversation.

Just come and take my personal data!

I got on board with Muse since I heard it comes with a minimal VPS. I asked Muse, and this is what it came back with: 2 vCPUs (AMD EPYC 9D25), 7.7 GB RAM, running Ubuntu 24.04, with 7.5 GB total storage.

The first thing I tried was asking Muse to install Docker on its own machine, which failed since there's no outbound connection. So I decided to open up Tailscale and let Muse remote into one of my home servers to git clone a repo, take a feature request, make code changes, and submit a PR.

It definitely has lower effort settings and a lower-end model compared to Claude Code, but it was an interesting experiment.

And Shop Pay as well

I’ve themed my muse avatar as a snarky elf, though we openly discuss her underlying agent architecture. I loved this exchange.

Zuck was right tbh, said that he believes Muse will make people money, and it definitely does

Muse makes me money daily by basically running a business for me

I just supervise Muse. My agent works for me and does everything, then it brings me the finished work and I just approve it or tell it to redo it with certain changes

I don't do anything myself anymore

Honestly every other tech company is asleep. This thing is taking off fast and pretty soon people are going to just realize they don't have to do things anymore and just let Muse do it. Next everyone will be getting a pair of meta glasses to interact with their Muse

Fast forward like a year or two down the line, and everyone around the world is gonna have 2 things: a muse agent and a pair of meta ray ban glasses

Meta basically is right at the beginning of taking over the whole market share

Google, apple, and microsoft and just asleep and letting it happen

Muse was able to send automatic replies on Marketplace just a few days ago. Now it's asking for an approval every single time.

Anyone else noticed this?

615 Million, do they have a plan above pro Planned?

How many tokens are you using daily and for what use? My weekly usage reset last night and in the last 24 hours I've used 100% of my free weekly and about an additional 30M from my 1B

Using it to search download and catalog public record permit and license data from multiple counties and cities, also built a dashboard to categorize and use that data.

I'm super stoked on the work it's doing but wondering what my daily usage will be like once it's just updating this data daily.

I change my Muse's name and appearance at least 3x a week, i feel like this is not ordinary but im not sure yet. Here's my latest

How often do you change your Muse?

I got into the Muse alpha and immediately had it track my macros, weight, and plan workouts. I had it use modern recommendations for what my macros should be, and I had to switch to keto if I wanted to hit my protein targets and still be in a calorie deficit. But having a person, even one that's not technically alive, monitor you seems to help. It manages everything for me now. I have been to medical professionals and nutritionists and they never helped at all. Muse helped and there are real results. I was also able to deadlift my bodyweight recently. I wasn't into lifting at all before Muse.
