Save money on car insurance, like @Musecases
One user saved $3,500 a year on car insurance with a single prompt. Bookmark this. Tell your Muse: 'Act as my insurance broker. I will upload my current auto policy. Find me identical coverage for less from a reputable insurer, show me the side-by-side numbers, and once I approve, switch me over and cancel the old policy. Flag any fees or coverage gaps before you move anything.' Five minutes. Thousands back in your pocket.

Buy stuff you may not need @Claire
Nobody has ever acted quicker than my ai agent wanting to buy me stuff. $5 substack subscription? Now! $5,298 necklace from a Netflix screenshot? Yesterday! Someone needs to teach this dude the value of a dollar.

Wait on hold with the airline for you, like @mvanhorn
Okay @Muse just pulled a rabbit out of a hat. I just had Muse call Southwest Air, wait on hold for me then it called me once a representative was there. It worked! There was real human waiting for me. Grail I’ve been dying for unlocked. Shout out to @spolen23 who told me this could be done.

Keep track of habits, like @fabiolarroyof
Replying to @annatonger @Forbes
I created an agent that helps me keep up with habits :) then got the idea to built something similar people could use: joinstreaker.co for a series I run where I build 52 projects in 52 weeks. I just hit 100 users, and 87 days using the help of my AI agent.

Deal with health insurance, like @BrennanWoodruff
Replying to @annatonger @Forbes
Evaluating company health insurance plans and finding vendors in the area that accept it, books appointments and give me the requisite talk tracks + insurance codes to make sure doctors know. This is largely to address the fuckery that is any insurance benefit platform UI and bullshit useless ai chatbot, and no ability to get responses in writing vs calling in for a wasted hour of time

Transcribe Holocaust testimony, like @tinkerheavy
Replying to @annatonger @Forbes
I used AI to transcribe Holocaust testimony videos from my grandparents and their siblings. I used AI to clean up the transcriptions, translate, corroborate, and do additional research combining many sources of historical data to produce timelines and maps. I discovered that my grandmother and her sisters were selected from Auschwitz to work at a Philips-Valvo factory making vacuum tubes and assembling electronics for the V-2 radio guidance module.

Write a (sort of) book, like @cluelessmuppet
I used a set of agents to interview me, go over old conf materials, prep recordings, talk tracks, writing, transcribe my ramblings on the topic I recorded talking to myself in public on way to office and the like to write a book. Including the post work of manuscript editing, challenging stories, clarifying ambiguous passsges, etc Probably everyone is doing it - but felt novel 🙃

Turn on the sprinklers to scare the neighbor's cats, like @McDionalds
Replying to @annatonger @Forbes
I have an agent that watches my backdoor at night through a WiFi camera and triggers a sprinkler if there's movement to get neighbourhood cats to stop harassing my cats. Probably don't need an agent for it.

Apply for a visa, like @deedydas
My favorite use cases for Muse / Instinct so far: 1. Submit FOIA requests to request data from the US government 2. Creating spend-limited Privacy cards to spend on subscriptions without having them recur 3. End to end filed an entire visa form for a country 4. Responded to a coordination mail for a wedding by finding the flight and hotel details 5. Look for reservations for restaurants or concerts when they open and purchase them immediately A lot of the web was designed with dark patterns: increase friction to prevent enough humans from doing something, and now those walls are completely broken. At this point, I feel like I’m squarely limited by creativity and understanding what is possible.

Keep track of your kids' school curriculum, like @anjanps5
Replying to @annatonger @Forbes
Using @bot to keep track of my kids curriculum, school notes and emails to generate fun activities we can do together on the weekends. This has been so eye opening to see how my kids are growing, learning as well as where their curiosity lies

Answer your girlfriend's texts, like @adamiweiss
Replying to @annatonger @Forbes
I built an agent that answers my girlfriend’s texts. She told me she wants access to me 24/7 :) so I trained the agent on our history of texting (little over a year).
