Meta Muse: 7 Mind Blowing Use Cases

0:00It's pretty insane that Meta Muse, despite being such a powerful AI agent, is completely free to use. This can shop for you, manage your emails, save you money, and it can even make phone calls for you. So, if you're not using Meta Muse yet, you're leaving a lot on the table because with the right setup, Muse can automate pretty much anything you throw at it, and it won't cost you a single dollar. In this video, I'll show you the best way to set up Meta Muse and seven practical ways you can start using it today. To get started, you want to download the Muse app. On your phone,

0:32just search for Meta Muse in the App Store or in Google Play. There's also a Mac app, or you can use Muse right in your browser. With the app downloaded, you can sign in with your existing Meta or Facebook account, so you don't need a new login. It's currently only available in the US and Canada, but more countries are coming. And then this is Muse. I'm showing you this on the desktop app because it's bigger and easier to see in a video, but on your phone, it's going to look exactly the same except this left side menu bar will be at the bottom on your phone. The first thing you

1:02should do is give your Muse its own name and profile photo, and have a little fun with this. If you notice up here is my avatar's name and their profile image, but you can change yours just by telling it down here in the chat what you want its name to be and what you want it to look like. For instance, you could tell it something like, "Help me come up with a new name for you. I really like Pokémon, so something Pokémon related would be cool." Of course, you can tell her that too, however or whatever it is that you are interested in or what kind

1:31of name you want to give it. Or if you have a specific name you want it to have, you can just tell it, "That is your name. Your name is now Thalia." Or your name is now Muse Bot, whatever you want it to be. Here for example is the way I set up my Muse. I just told it the name that I wanted, which was Thalia,

1:47and then we brainstormed on the look. First it came up with this look, which I didn't love, so it came up with these cute designs, and then we were kind of going with an Eevee look from Wall-E, some animal ones, and then I realized I want mine to look like the default Muse, but just styled a little bit differently. So, we eventually settled on this look with the yellow beanie, and

2:08later on I decided to change it to red. So, go back and forth, brainstorm on the look a little bit, and then just, you know, have some fun with it. Once you have that set up, I want to explain one of the things that makes Muse a little bit unique. Because unlike a lot of other AI tools, this is centered around one main chat. The general idea is you can just chat with your Muse the same way you would talk to someone or chat with someone on WhatsApp. So, whenever you need to use it, you just come to this one single thread. If you want though, there are side chats that you

2:39can use, and these can help you stay a little bit more organized. I'll show you some good use cases for those later. But primarily, you're just going to be using this one single thread. And as far as setup goes, that's all you need to do. With a lot of other AI tools, I would recommend at this point to connect up the apps that you want your AI to have access to, and ask the AI to ask questions about who you are. But with Muse, I actually wouldn't recommend any of that. Once you start using it, it just figures out what you need. So, don't make this complicated, don't feel

3:10like you have to give it a lot of information up front about who you are. It's going to figure that out as you start to use it. So, let's jump in now, and we'll talk about the first use case. For this first use case, we're going to treat Muse as an executive assistant who automatically briefs us every morning on everything we need to be on top of for the day. And this is a great use case for side chats. So, to start a new side chat on the left side menu here, click on this plus icon, and now you have a new side chat open. And for this one,

3:38I'm going to use the dictation button, because that's actually my favorite way of interacting with Muse. It allows me just to yap away, and then pulls in everything that I said, and makes sense of it. Hey, so every morning for me, I want you to go through my email inbox and through my calendar. And maybe we

3:56can set up connect up a to-do list app. Which ones can you connect with? And I'm going to have you kind of go through all of that and give me a morning report of everything that's important that I need to stay on top of for the day. And I would love it if you could send that to me as some voice file so I can just listen to it. Okay, so there's a couple of reasons I worded it like that. Mainly because I wanted to show you that you don't need to know everything that Muse can do for you. Sometimes you can just ask, "Hey, can you do this?" or "What

4:26apps can you work with?" and it will just figure it out. Like here, I asked it, "Can you just create a voice file for me?" And as you're going to see in a couple minutes, it can absolutely do that. And I asked it, "Which apps can you connect up with it?" And it's going to tell me in 1 second which to-do list apps it actually works with. And now, check this out. It gave me a response, told me, "Yep, voice files are absolutely possible. And here's what it could recommend for different to-do list apps." And this is its suggestion. Just connect up everything you have in

4:54Google, Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Tasks, and it's going to take care of all of that. And this is what I was talking about before when I told you don't worry about setting things up ahead of time. As you need different things connected, it will tell you what it needs and will walk you through how to connect it. It's very easy. So, let's go ahead and connect up my Gmail account. I'll click right here where it says connect. Then of course, I'll click through this, and then I'll log into my

5:16Gmail account and finish this process. Okay, once you're done connecting with that one up, make sure you do the same process for the other apps that it needs access to. And then has some questions here. It says if you're on Outlook, you can use this, but I'll say I'll use Google since I've already done that. And then what other questions does it have for me? It says Google's now connected, both the calendar and tasks. So, I'm

5:37going to have this set up at 7:30 a.m. every day. But I'm also going to tell it to run one of these tasks right now so we can get an idea of what this looks like. So, go ahead and also run one of these right now, so I get an idea of what this looks like. And then it's as simple as that. You can see here it is already set up. This is the report for today. It tells me I have to go to the dentist later, and then I have a workout class, and besides that, in my email inbox, I have no important emails to

6:05look at. And then these are the last things I have for the day on my Google tasks. And if you want to listen to that, here's the audio file. Good afternoon, Paul. First, your calendar. You have two things left today. At 3:00, the dentist for half an hour. Then at 5:30, a workout class. Also, I think you get the idea. And I think it's really nice to listen to these morning reports while I'm getting ready in the morning, so I don't have to be staring at my phone, and yet by the end of it, I still have a good idea of what's going on for the day, and I feel

6:33completely ready. The second use case I want to show you is something Muse is very good at, which is saving you money. And there are actually countless ways it can help you do that, but I'm going to target some of our biggest expenses. Start by uploading your insurance policies to Meta, and then ask it to find you a better rate with identical coverage, or to look for ways to reduce your costs by removing coverage you possibly don't need. What's cool about this is that Muse is now going out and actually searching the web for better results. It has its own browser where it can navigate the web just like a human,

7:06and it's looking there for better policies. This is exactly what Joe Devoe did on X, and you can see it saved him $3,500 a year. And not only the policy, but it bought it and canceled his old policy. This is something he knew he was overpaying for, but the process of going through it was so complicated that he gave up on it many times. And it doesn't just stop with insurance. It can also negotiate your bills. My buddy Peter Yang asked Muse to look at his cable and phone bills, and it ended up saving him $800 a year. And then of course, the next step of this is to actually

7:40automate those savings. So for this, I'll start a new side chat and I'll tell Muse, "Every Saturday, I want you to go through my emails from the past week and look for places where you might be able to save me money. If I'm currently paying for some subscription, see if there's a cheaper option. If I've paid for something from a store, see if they do price matching if the price goes down

8:01and then check if the price went down. It'll be your goal to save me as much money as possible." And just like before, it's going to set that up on an automation. You don't have to connect it up with Gmail again cuz you already did that before, but now every week it's going to look for different ways that it

8:16can save you money all automatically. And before we move on, let's take a quick moment to hear from the sponsor of today's video, reception.ai. Reception.ai is an AI receptionist from 11 Labs. It answers your business's phone 24/7, handles the common questions, and books appointments while the caller is still on the line. So, let's say I run a small HVAC company. My techs are out on the jobs all day, so calls often go unanswered. And those customers just end up calling someone else. So, I just paste my website URL into reception.ai. From that, it learns my services and hours and then I can grab a phone number. Let's give it a

8:54test now. Thanks for calling Meridian Air. How can I help you today? Yeah, do you work on heat pumps and do you charge for estimates? Yes, we work on heat pumps. For service and repairs, our diagnostic visit is $79, which comes with Okay, so my furnace stopped working. Can someone come out tomorrow morning to

9:14take a look at it? We can definitely have someone come out tomorrow morning. It even books the visit on my Google calendar before I even hang up. You also get full control over the experience. Calls can ring to your team first if you want, and you can use reception.ai as a backup if no one answers, or you can route all your calls to it. When it does pick up, every call comes with a summary and a transcript, so you can see exactly what it told your customers. You can try reception.ai using the link in the

9:43description, and now back to the video. Use case number three is to use Muse as a personal shopper. And it's not only really good at helping you make purchase decisions and doing research around that, but also finding you really good deals. So, I'm back here inside my main chat, and I've been thinking about getting back into video games. So, I want to ask Muse for help with this

10:02because I'm kind of out of the loop. I've been thinking about buying a new video game console. I currently have the Nintendo Switch one, but it feels a little old at this point. I don't even know what's out now. I don't know which consoles have the best games. Can you kind of help lead me in the right direction? And I don't want to spend more than like $900. Okay, so here it's telling me there's a new Nintendo Switch, there's a PlayStation 5, and there's an Xbox Series. So, if you're already into Nintendo, you may be happy with the Nintendo Switch 2. But I'm going to tell it, I'm kind of getting

10:31sick of the Nintendo games cuz I've that's all I've been playing, so I kind of want something fresh and new. What do you mean by disc when you say PlayStation 5? So, here it's explaining what that means. There's basically a PS5 where you have to download everything digitally, or there's one where you can actually put in physical discs. And you probably want that one because then you can buy used games very easily. So, I think that's the route I'm going to go with. Actually, I first want to know what the games are. So, I'll say, "What games are available for the PS5 that are really popular? And can you show me

10:59images of them so I get an idea of what the game play is like?" And here we go. It describes what all the games are and then shows images of them. So, I'm pretty convinced this is the console I want. So, let's now find a good deal on it. Um can you find me a good deal on

11:11this? Maybe on Facebook Marketplace? Check um if there's anything that's great, or do you think on Black Friday this is going to go down in price? Could you actually set up a scheduled task, so maybe every 3 days you check for a good deal and then alert me when you find one? And so now with all of that set up, I don't have to constantly be hunting down for a great deal. It's going to do that for me. I could have it do it every day if I wanted to and then just let me know once it actually finds a good deal that's not too expensive. All right,

11:42let's move on to use case number four, which are reservations, specifically hard to get reservations. So, there's this restaurant in Denver called Kizaki. It's really hard to get a reservation here. Like right now for the next week, there are no reservations and like a week and a half from now, there's one time slot and it's 8:00 p.m. at night. But other than that, there's nothing open. So, I want something sooner. I'm hoping to go to this restaurant this weekend. Luckily, Meta Muse can handle this for me. So, let's go over to the Muse and I will tell it, "Hey, I need you to get a reservation for me for this

12:21weekend to this restaurant in Denver called Kizaki. They're on OpenTable, but I've also heard that there's no reservations. You can also call and ask for one. Can you get on top of that and just like check every day and try to get me whatever time slots open up? I don't even care what day it is this weekend or what time. I just want to be able to go this weekend." So, this is utilizing a bunch of the stuff I've already shown you that Muse can do, but it's also showing you something new, which are phone calls because Muse can actually make phone calls for you for things like

12:53this. So, of course, first thing I'll do is connect up OpenTable. Now, that's all set up. So, every single day it's going to check OpenTable to see if there is an opening and if there isn't one, it's going to actually call the restaurant on the phone. There'll be an AI talking to the restaurant asking if there's any openings and if there is one, it's going to make a reservation for me. Now, you can't listen to those conversations, but they do send you a transcript afterward,

13:20so you can see exactly what was said. Use case number five is to have Muse automatically track your goals for you. And this one is built right into the app. If you click on the menu where it says goals, this is the goals section. And this is a list of things that you are working on with Muse or that you added yourself. What's cool about this is that Muse creates a lot of these on

13:42its own based on what you chatted about. So right here for instance, one of my goals is to purchase a PlayStation 5. Why is that there? Because just a few minutes ago, I told Muse I wanted a PlayStation 5. And when that's done, I can just come here and check this off. Or when I'm chatting with Muse and understands that I actually purchase one, it will check that off for me. You can also create your own goals down here. So if I have one related to my health, I would select this one. This will open up a little side chat here and I can get very specific about what my

14:14goals are. All this is totally optional, but I find it really helpful. It reminds me about the projects I start with Muse so I actually follow up on them. For use case number six, we're going to have Muse create for us a personalized newsfeed. And this is one that requires zero setup. All you have to do is click in the menu where it says feed and this will show you a feed that is curated for you by Muse. As Muse learns more about you, it fills this up with things it thinks you'll find interesting. So it knows I'm really interested in AI agents, so here's a news story about AI

14:49agents. It knows that I've been asking a lot of questions about the new iPhone duo. So here's an article about that. It knows I use Gmail and often talk about AI automations and things like that. So here's one about Gmail's AI inbox. So instead of scrolling through a bunch of news that isn't relevant to you, you get news picked around the things you actually care about. And the more you chat with Muse and use it, the more personalized these results are going to get. And then finally, we have use case number seven. This This the one you're going to use when you're not sure what to use Muse for. If you click on the

15:24light bulb icon in the menu here, this is your idea section. This is automatically generated for you, and it gives you a list of different things that you can use Muse for. And this is curated for you. This isn't a generic list that is given to everyone. So, recently I was looking at different e-ink readers, and here it suggests you might want to ask Muse to compare these three e-readers. Just yesterday, I was telling Muse that I was considering going to CES 2027, which is an event in Las Vegas where you can look at all the tech that's coming out that year. And here it's saying, "Before prices rise,

16:01you should probably start planning out this trip because the hotels are only going to get more expensive." And every single one of these suggestions is tailored to me based on things I've chatted with Muse about. So, if you ever get stuck and you're not sure what to use Muse for, this is where you want to come. So, that's how you can outsource your life to Meta Muse. Connect your apps, tell Muse what you need, and then hand off the chores that you keep putting off. My advice is to start small. Pick the one task that annoys you or that you've been procrastinating on,

16:30give it to Muse, and see how it does. Once that works, you can add another and another. And since Muse is free, the only thing it really costs you is a few minutes to set up. Let me know in the comments down below what you end up automating with your Muse. I'd love to hear what you guys come up with. And then if you want to see five more things Muse can do, like making podcasts and controlling your computer from your

16:51phone, click on this video right here. That's the video I did recently about five incredible features inside of Meta Muse. So, if you want the full story on that, click on this video right here, and I'll see you over there in 1 second. Bye for now.
