Shop for shorts and handle email via an agent
A TechRadar reviewer had Muse find shorts in their size and request an Amazon login to buy, and also work on their email.
Done withMeta Muse
- What they did
- The reviewer asked Muse, nicknamed Scout, to find shorts. It asked for their size, browsed alone for a couple of minutes and returned options, pointing out a sale. It then asked for an Amazon login to buy, which the reviewer supplied. For email, they granted inbox and write access. Scout found an unanswered power company message about checking solar panels and drafted a reply with the reviewer's chosen date, pending their approval.
- How it went
- Both errands got done with little effort. The shorts search was pleasant to delegate, and the email draft looked fine after about a minute. The reviewer still felt uneasy about the level of access involved.
- Worth knowing
- Start with public web tasks, and keep approvals on for email and anything involving money. Muse is US-only for adults, with a free tier and paid plans at $20 or $100 a month.
