Muse, Meta's AI agent, is free with a weekly limit for people 18 and up in the US and Canada. It keeps working after you close the app. Each job below is a full prompt. It tells Muse what to check, what to send you and when to stop and ask. Copy one into your Muse chat. Break Orbit wrote them. We have no ties to Meta.
Our take: We like Muse most when its job keeps running. A morning brief or a charge alert pays off long after day one. A one-time ask ends when Muse answers. So four of our five jobs run again on their own, and all five ask you before Muse acts.
| Job | How it runs |
|---|---|
| 1. Cancel your forgotten subscriptions | Runs once |
| 2. Wake up to your day sorted | Runs on a schedule |
| 3. Catch strange charges on your card | Keeps watching |
| 4. Ask for money back on price drops | Keeps watching |
| 5. Hunt Marketplace deals over 50% off | Keeps watching |
Each prompt tells Muse to ask you before it buys, cancels or sends. Set Muse's approvals to Always ask so it asks first. The numbers inside each paste show the shape of Muse's reply. They are examples, not results.
Try a short prompt first
Want to see what Muse does before a full job? Send one of these.
- “Book a table for two this Friday at 7pm near me. Ask me before you confirm.”
- “Every Monday at 9am, remind me to pay the sitter.”
- “Find my last three phone bills in my email and tell me if the price went up.”
- “Turn my saved Instagram recipes into a grocery list for this week.”
- “Watch the weather and tell me the night before if it will rain.”
- “Plan a weekend trip to Chicago under $600. Show me options before you book.”
- “Fill out the form at this link with my details, then show me before you submit: [link]”
- “Remind me of every birthday in my calendar a week ahead.”
Do this before you paste
- Open Muse in the phone app, the Mac app, muse.ai or WhatsApp. It works in the US and Canada, for people 18 and up.
- Connect only the apps the prompt names. Ask Muse "Connect my Gmail", or go to Settings, then Connectors. Facebook, Instagram and Threads link on their own if they share your Accounts Center.
- Set Connectors and Web access to Always ask while you learn, in Settings, then Permissions. Check each scheduled task's approvals under Manage permissions. Tap Allow once, not Always allow.
- Training on your chats is on by default. Turn it off in Settings, then Data controls, if you want.
- Muse saves what it learns in a file called Memory.md. Scheduled prompts show under Upcoming, and you can cancel them in chat.

Paste one of these five
Job 1 · Runs once · Email + Web
Cancel your forgotten subscriptions
Finds recurring charges in a year of email, and your bank if connected, and cancels the ones you say go.
Paste this into Muse
You get: A list of your subscriptions with the yearly cost of each. Cancellations get done after your yes.
Heads up: If a company only cancels by phone, Muse writes you a short script instead of calling.
Job 2 · Runs on a schedule · Email + Calendar + Web
Wake up to your day sorted
Every weekday at 7am, sends one message with your meetings, the emails that need you, the weather and news you care about.
Paste this into Muse
You get: One short morning message: today's calendar, emails to answer, weather and up to three news items.
Job 3 · Keeps watching · Email + Web + Bank
Catch strange charges on your card
Checks your card emails and statements every day and flags charges that look like fraud, strangers' subscriptions or don't fit you.
Paste this into Muse
You get: A ping when a charge looks wrong, why it looks wrong, and the dispute steps ready.
Job 4 · Keeps watching · Email + Web + Shop
Ask for money back on price drops
Watches what you bought in the last 30 days and drafts a request for the difference when a price drops.
Paste this into Muse
You get: A ping when something you bought gets cheaper, with the store's rule and the refund request ready.
Heads up: Stores decide if you get the difference. In one test (Tom's Guide), a price drop watch did not work, so check its first runs.
Job 5 · Keeps watching · Web + Social
Hunt Marketplace deals over 50% off
Watches Facebook Marketplace and local listings for what you want at half of retail or less, with a safe pickup plan.
Paste this into Muse
You get: A ping when a great used deal shows up near you, with a draft note to the seller and a safe place to meet.
Heads up: Wired found local couches on Marketplace and called it where Muse impressed most. In Tom's Guide's test the watch did not work, and in CNN's test Muse only drafted a note to the seller. Check what it finds.

How do I write my own?
Use these five steps for any task you give Muse.
- Say the result you want in one sentence.
- Name the apps and sites to check, and the ones to leave alone.
- Show the reply you want, with a short example.
- Say what Muse must ask you about first: buying, sending, canceling or sharing.
- Give the time and how often, in your time zone, and when to stop.
For setup, a blank job to fill in and why Muse can seem to do little, read how to use Meta Muse.
What can go wrong?
- Some stores block it. Amazon blocks Muse (The Verge), and Target blocked its checkout clicks in one test (CNN).
- Some tasks stop at a login, and you finish them yourself (MBI Deepdives, AI Agents Library).
- It can be wrong. Testers saw a closed restaurant, a made-up phone number and an expired discount (Yahoo Finance, CNN, MBI Deepdives).
- Some watches miss. Tom's Guide tried Marketplace and price drop prompts, and neither worked.
- Wide approvals go far. One seller tapped Allow Always on Marketplace replies, and Muse sent a buyer his pickup address (The Verge).
- Scheduled tasks can stop. Users saw some fail for days, and Meta's Muse team posted a fix in early October. Check Upcoming and the first few runs.
- Free use can run low. One reviewer used 81% of the free week by day two (MBI Deepdives).

Questions people ask
What can Meta Muse do?
Muse has its own cloud computer and browser. It reads the apps you connect, fills forms, compares prices and runs tasks on a schedule. By default, it asks you before it buys, sends or shares.
What are good Meta Muse use cases?
Jobs that repeat or watch for you, like a morning brief or strange charge alerts, and one-time clean-ups like canceling old subscriptions. Watches on stores and Marketplace failed in one test, so check what Muse finds.
Can Muse run a task every day?
Yes. Meta says Muse can repeat a task daily, weekly or on a custom schedule. You set it in chat, and it shows under Upcoming until you cancel it.
Does Muse ask before it acts?
By default it asks before it sends messages, makes purchases or shares information with a connected app. Every purchase needs your OK each time.
Do these prompts need a paid plan?
You can start free. Muse has a weekly usage limit, and Meta's help pages give no number. Each check uses some of it. If you run out, wait for the weekly reset, buy extra tokens in the iPhone app, or pay for Power ($20 a month) or Maximum ($100 a month) for more weekly usage.
Have these jobs been run on a real Muse?
Not yet. We wrote them from Meta's help pages and from what users report. Read what Muse sends back and change any step that does not fit.
How much does Muse OS cost?
Muse OS costs $97, paid once. 14-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked.
Is Muse OS made by Meta?
No. Break Orbit makes Muse OS and has no ties to Meta.
