(Image credit: Shutterstock) For the AI-savvy folks reading this right now, I’m sure you’ve come across a flood of tweets and Reddit threads full of people bragging about the greatness that is Meta’s Muse AI assistant.Ever since it launched as a mobile app, users have put it to work to actually make a difference in their everyday lives. For me, it’s performed admirably well whenever I asked it for severe weather reports, used it to find sweet deals on products I’ve been itching to buy, advised it to give me worthwhile productivity hacks and turned it into a curator that produces legit recommendations for podcasts I’d probably enjoy.But in the case of other Meta Muse aficionados, they’ve detailed just how helpful it has been when tasked with solving their financial issues, handling the annoying part of the job application process, building them a website for their online shop and more.After combing through a bunch of Reddit threads and tweets, I found 10 cases of Meta Muse AI users being highly impressed and thankful after putting their new favorite chatbot to use. And their stories could inspire you to try them out for yourself. (Image credit: Future)This first Reddit post from user “ExaminationAny9939” highlights a moment where they used Muse to handle a home insurance customer service call. The user was more than satisfied after their AI helper actually got a human representative on the phone. Here’s that user’s triumphant testimony:“Had to alter stuff with my home insurance but had to go through bunch of b******t customer service robo call shit of pressing 1, pressing 2 and going nowhere with it. Enter Muse! Told it to call the toll free number, get a human representative on chat and once you have him/her, call me on my phone! And it actually did that! What the actuall f*******k! Then it was a breeze to talk to the human and do what I needed to do. But post the call, I was like what just happened! No more of this annoying wait to get to a customer care representative. Muse does it for you! What a product! This is how AI helps us!”When asked how they specifically put Muse up to the phone calling task, this is how the use broke it all down: “Ah! So I basically told muse to call my insurance company on my behalf and then hand over the call to me once it finds a human representative. It basically has a human voice (you can choose male or female) it will use to talk when placing the call on your behalf. Maybe ask muse to do the call on your behalf, give it your task and maybe it will do the task for you.”Sign up to the Tom's AI Guide weekly newsletter summing up all the biggest AI news you need to know.

Edit: online chat w verizon (havent tried the call feature).”metaai from r/MetaAI/comments/1wpqdqr/amazeballsThe next Reddit thread comes from a user named “Kooky_Sheepherder_84,” who was shocked at how useful Muse could be in helping them take much of the stress away from the job application process. Meta’s AI tool ended up automating their job applications with ease:“Guys. I set up Muse's automated job application engine on Sept 14 and it has been working its little robot heart out ever since!! Every weekday morning it hunts down roles matching my ops/facilities background, tailors my resume to EACH posting, fills out the applications, and SUBMITS them. Like, actually submits them. Srsly!! ChatGPT and Claude haven't seemed to be into all the automations I keep creating. Neither of them does actual autonomous work across real websites while I sleep. Not even close. AMAZEBALLS!!! Applying for jobs is a pain in the a** and Muse does all the hard parts. I just show up for a call or at an interview with a crib sheet. It's been pretty successful all week.”Really enjoying Muse! from r/MetaAIThe last Reddit thread I came across highlights another user named “jinkstr86.” And this time, Muse came to their rescue by building them a website after using it to work in conjunction with their Gmail and Squarespace accounts. At the end of their Muse experience, they were proud to say that it developed a blog alongside an online retail store:“I have to admit I was very skeptical, but after only two days using Muse, I can confidently say this a great AI assistant and my favorite! So far I have integrated it with my Gmail and Squarespace. It’s helped me in building out and coding my site and it gave me good suggestions for things I could fix. I was impressed that it actually will do the task, in my case it built out my new blog page and merch shop. I still had to come in behind to fine tune, but for the most part it did a great job! I love how you can see it working and navigating the site and can even take over."
