A business owner gave Muse control of their Google Ads and Meta ads with little more than a request to help improve the ads for conversions. The owner says it returned many suggestions for both ad accounts, plus ideas for improving their Google Business Profile and website SEO. They call the results "shockingly" good but doesn't report numbers. The original post did not include a prompt. Tool: Meta Muse.

After a forgotten AI note-taker renewed for a year at $127.20, a user asked Muse to cancel it and request a refund. Muse first signed into the wrong Google account, and when it found no cancel button it emailed support from the user's address without showing the draft first, calling the plan "already cancelled" when it was only a request. The user reports that support replied and the refund was with their billing team. Their rule now: Muse can send a polite email on its own, but spending money still takes their click.

A founder who mentions their brand Maison Fidé connected Muse to one of their work email accounts. They say it drafts responses, flags anything urgent, and schedules meetings, so they rarely need to look at that inbox. In the same post they credit Shopify's built-in Sidekick with saving hours on inventory management. The original post did not include a prompt. Tool: Meta Muse.

A user connected Muse to their Outlook email, and it audited auto-renewals across all their domains, including some the user says they didn't know about. Muse gave a full report, canceled an unwanted renewal, and requested a refund. The user reports a refund request of more than $200. The original post did not include a prompt. Tool: Meta Muse.

A Muse user who works with buyers and sellers had Muse sort and organize a 2,200-contact database, which the user says they'd never have gotten under control alone. It took days, and the user says they then spent the day talking with real potential customers instead of doing admin. By the user's own claim, Muse's ideas and work helped uncover "millions of dollars in business." The original post did not include a prompt. Tool: Meta Muse.

A Shopify merchant says they connected Meta's official Shopify connector for Muse and ran a catalog margin audit in minutes. They say Muse can also drive the Shopify admin in a browser or call the API, and that those paths have different powers and hard limits. They had it check the routes and write a routing table. The prompt they refer to is in a video, not in the post itself. The original post did not include a prompt. Tool: Meta Muse.

A post says Muse replaced QuickBooks and saved $400 a year. The person asked it to log in, download two years of receipts, and cancel the subscription. A copyable prompt is on the page.

Todd Saunders asked Muse to use Verizon Fios's website chat and negotiate a better price. The Verizon agent first said he already had the lowest price, so he told Muse to "push harder," and Verizon came back with a better offer. He reports saving $180 a year and says he'd never have had the patience to sit in that chat himself. The original post did not include a prompt. Tool: Meta Muse.

Justin Jinorio gave Meta Muse access to the Meta ad account for one of his businesses, uploaded one video, and talked through his lead-quality problems. Muse analyzed what was working, suggested a new strategy, built a lead form with qualifying questions, made three ad variations, set the budget, and published the test without him opening Ads Manager. He says Muse will remind him in 10 days to come back and pick the winner. The original post did not include a prompt. Tool: Meta Muse.

Andrew Carr asked Muse to find a nearby, reliable embroiderer willing to do small batches and set it up. Muse found one, emailed him, negotiated, and sent the design files; Carr just dropped the items off. The embroiderer, who said he had mostly retired and only worked for existing clients, asked how Carr had even found him. The original post did not include a prompt. Tool: Meta Muse.

Jerrod Lew says Muse sends him a summary of email, calendar, messages, and DMs at 7AM, 12PM, and 6PM, with action points and anything he missed, including overnight Messenger messages from other time zones. He says he set up Google Tasks with bills and subscriptions, projects, and client work, and that day-to-day tasks are added from email or the calendar. He says Granola, plus email and the calendar, gives him context before meetings. The original post did not include a prompt. Tool: Meta Muse.
