Handle family logistics, reminders and research with a personal assistant
The poster uses Muse with its own VM to book kids' workshop spots, send medication reminders, draft interview questions and a house-help offer, and price-match.
Done withMeta Muse
- What they did
- The poster uses Muse as an always-on personal assistant with its own VM that can browse the web, remember context, and run recurring tasks. They describe having it send medication reminders every 10 minutes until confirmed, watch for kids’ workshop registration and book spots, draft hiring materials for part-time house help, research exact TPMS part numbers for price matching, and manage routine reminders; in comments they say they have not given it access to email.
- How it went
- The reported result is that it handles ongoing family and household tasks more reliably than one-off phone reminders, especially for repeated alerts and calendar-like chores. The post gives no hard savings numbers, and the examples are anecdotal rather than measured.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch mentioned is caution on permissions: the poster says they have not connected Muse to email.
