Handing Muse an errand works a lot like handing it to a capable new assistant on their first day. They can run with it, and you still look over what they bring back before anyone else sees it. That second half is what this course is about.
Meta's Muse is a personal AI agent, which means it takes actions as well as answering questions. Talking to it works like messaging another person, in the Muse app or directly in WhatsApp, and you tell it what needs to get done. Meta's own example is close to home: Muse can turn a recipe reel you saved on Instagram into a grocery list, suggest a menu for a dinner party, and remember your friends' dietary restrictions before it sends the invites.
Check that you have it before you start. Meta says Muse is rolling out in the US on iOS, Android and muse.ai, so it may not show up for you yet, and a later Meta post describes it as available in the US and Canada. Meta also says it is free for most of what people need, with subscription plans for people who want to do more. This course doesn't assume a paid plan. If a step here doesn't match what you see, your rollout or your plan may be the reason.
The request you send decides most of what comes back. Name the source (the saved reel), the headcount, and any restriction that matters, and say where you want Muse to stop. Muse already stops on its own for some steps: Meta says it checks with you before sensitive actions like sending an email or making a purchase. Invites to your friends and a grocery order are both things that go out under your name, so it costs nothing to say "show me before you send or buy anything" in the first message.
Where this stops: Muse remembers what matters to you and can act on details you only mentioned once. That is handy right up until a detail changes. If Sam mentioned a new allergy in the group chat and never told Muse, Muse will plan around the old version and present the menu just as confidently. The group chat is the record of what your guests said, and Muse's memory is a copy that can go stale.
Send one clear request that names the source, the people and the limits. Check what comes back against the place your guests actually told you things, then decide what goes out under your name.
