- What they did
- The reporter told Meta's Muse agent, which runs on its own virtual computer with a browser, to find ways to save money. He connected it to apps and services and gave it the permissions it needed. Muse searched on its own and flagged possible actions. He checked each suggestion himself before acting on it.
- How it went
- Muse flagged some Patreon and Substack subscriptions he might not want, plus a cheaper phone plan based on newly released data plans. Useful savings came to about $35, or 3.5% of the $1,000 target.
- Worth knowing
- Muse needs broad access to your accounts to be useful. Verify its suggestions before acting, and expect savings to depend on how much forgotten spending you actually have.
